PROTECTION-STATUS (A) and Landscape-Planning (B) protect Mountain Forests:

(A) Outstanding PROTECTION- STATUS of Mountain Forests:

PROTECTION-STATUS (Protection-Worthiness-Status) of MOUNTAIN FORESTS =

MOUNTAIN FORESTS, as CORE AREAS of Scenic Beauty and Secret Wilds, are

Precious TREASURES of the General Public!

Mountain forests and their surroundings are considered the Foundation (CORE AREAS) (1) of Scenic Beauty and Secret Wilderness and are therefore of Great Importance to the General Public (2).

The Classification of mountain forests as Core Areas (1) and their Common Property-Character (2) shows that Mountain Forests are regarded as an CORE AREAS and Precious TREASURES to the General Public (A = High PROTECTION worthiness- STATUS). Thanks to their Protection STATUS (Protection worthiness Status), Mountain Forests are designated as Specially Protected Areas, for example, as Nature Parks (Special Protection Status), or Generally Protected as Protective Forests (General Protection Status). In this context, people refer to Special Protection Status and General Protection Status.

(B) Landscape-Planning for the Common Good:

Mountains as Ideal Sites for Nature- and Landscape Protection

=> Protection Programs and Alliances for the Protection of Forests in the Mountains

Mountains are unsuitable for settlements and agriculture

=> Inaccessible Areas in the mountains

In addition to its Protected Status (A), mountain forests are also protected by Landscape Planning (B), which ensures that they remain close to nature, unfragmented, and free from development. Many regions implement Nature Protection and Reforestation Programs, especially in mountainous areas. The Inaccessibility of hills and mountain forests also contributes to their protection and helps them remain undisturbed. Strong public resistance to harmful interventions is leading to the recognition of mountain forests as habitats worthy of protection. People's close connection to these forests encourages their commitment to protection, and supra-regional Associations and Organizations have been formed to actively combat potential threats to the natural environment.

(A) and (B) => PROTECTION, PRESERVATION and EXPANSION of the Mountain Forests

The interplay of (A = PROTECTION-STATUS) and (B = Landscape-Planning) results in a continuos emergence of new Forces from the GENERAL PUBLIC committed to the Protection, Preservation and Expansion of the Mountain Forests. This is achieved by Awarding or Designating the Mountain Forests as Areas Worthy of Special Protection such as Protected Forests, Nature Parks, National Parks, Protected Community Forests or as Areas Worthy of General Protection like Protection Forests or Recreation Forests. In addition, Protection Programs such as reforestation initiatives and nature conservation plans in the mountains are being launched. The establishment of Networks and Alliances for the protection and defense of mountain forests, with municipalities, organizations, associations, and alliances working together, plays a crucial role.

The PROTECTION-STATUS of Mountain Forests (A) and the Landscape-Planning (B) together form a secure basis for the greatest possible protection of all Mountain Forests (Ghost Landscapes). This combination of recognition of the Protection Worthiness (Special Protection Status and General Protection Status) and sensible structure of the landscape (Landscape-Planning) results in the greatest benefit for the Common Good overall.

(1) Mountain Forests as CORE Areas of Beauty and Wilderness:

(1) Mountain Forests = CORE AREAS of Beauty and Wilds =>

Mountain Forests = Precious TREASURES

There are many compelling reasons to protect certain landscapes for the benefit of the public. Above all, these include their scenic beauty and the secret wilderness they preserve. Protecting all mountain orests and their surrounding areas—with their unique beauty and hidden wilderness—is a top priority for the common good. Mountain Forests are CORE AREAS of Scenic Beauty and Secret Wilderness because they exhibit an exceptionally rich array of outstanding features. These include panoramic views, striking rock formations, mysterious castles, rushing waterfalls, enchanted river valleys, and diverse habitats such as caves, raised bogs, and hillside forests. As a valuable and worthy counterbalance to civilization, mountain forests meet a wide range of fundamental needs and functions like recreation, adventure, aesthetics, freedom, and identity, providing refuge for plants and animals, and protecting diverse habitats.

=> (1) Consequently, Mountain Forests - as CORE AREAS for the Protection of Beauty and Wilderness - are

Precious Treasures.

(2) MOUNTAIN FORESTS as Special Common Good:

=> (2) MOUNTAIN FORESTS = Precious Treasure of the General Public!

From (1) follows directly to (2): MOUNTAIN FORESTS are CORE AREAS of wilderness protection and scenic beauty and are therefore of outstanding Importance to the General Public! Mountain Forest are of great importance to ALL of us and must be protected in the interest of the common good. Mountain Forests belong to all of US! The bond between us and the mountain forests is very strong. MOUNTAIN FORESTS possess a Special COMMON PROPERTY CHARACTER, as they function as a supra-regional symbol of every community and district, thus representing a stark contrast to personal property in the flat valley (e.g., one's own garden, arable land, etc.). A mountain range without mountain forest is hardly imaginable in general. In consensus, mountain forests and mountain ranges therefore form an inseparable unit for us. The mountain forest stands out clearly from its surroundings; it stands above us all as a visible object of identification and is a Precious TREASURE of the General Public.

=> (2) Consequently, Mountain Forests are (as CORE AREAS), Precious Treasures of the General Public!
