“…Here, tourism generated involvement favored younger and better educated residents who usually lived in close proximity to tourist hotspots and were women. This was further reinforced by McNeely and SuksaWang (2018) noting the financial benefits of MPAs to those living in close proximity. Equally, Pham (2020) point out that households who exclusively depended on tourism tended to have a lower income, especially in comparison to residents simultaneously involved in both tourism and traditional occupations.…”

“…However, these cannot be applied without amendments or the need to explore more variables that are imposed aside the relief and heterogeneity of the landscapes by local communities believes and traditions. Nowadays it is well established that traditional rural agro-ecosystems are hotspots for biodiversity conservation reason why they are in the attention of scientists for many years [37,46,47]. Moreover, the results of scientific investigations developed inside these traditional areas rise the idea of crops erosions and new approaches have been published for scientifically substantiate the need for crops red listing in Nepal [48].…”

Plant biotechnology is dependent today on accessing broader plant genetic resources for food and agriculture (PGRFA) diversity for ensuring food security for our future. Heterogenous agricultural lands are considered today as hotspot for biodiversity, and they also exist in the hilly mountain areas of Romanian’s Carpathians. The scope of this review is to describe traditional home-hardens related to the land use of households and cultivated species from Moșna commune, Sibiu County, Romania. The survey was realized with the support of authorities and local stakeholders from 2010 up to 2019. The results of this survey revealed that maintenance of crop species structure and land use of traditional households is longer than 100 years. Consequently at least 15 traditional Saxon home-gardens of 120 taken into the study may be defined. Today these home-garden covers a media of 26% of the total area of a household and should be part of a surface ranging between 5,000 and 1,500 m2. The first Local Council Decision in Romania in 2019 supporting the recognition of landraces and home-gardens as heritage values was officially adopted supporting the need to more access bottom-up approaches for supporting biodiversity conservation.
