(A) PROTECTION-STATUS (A) protects Mountain Forests:

(A) PROTECTION STATUS of MOUNTAIN FORESTS =

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

Precious TREASURES of the GENERAL PUBLIC!

From (1) and (2) follows: (A) (PROTECTION worthiness- STATUS of Mountain Forests)

In (A), points 1) and 2) are combined. The Classification as Core Area and the Special Common Property- Character (2) together result in Status A.

The Mountain Forests, a PRECIOUS TREASURE, stands out clearly from its surroundings as a CORE AREA in terms of Scenic Beauty and Secret Wilderness (1) and is therefore of Great Importance to the General Public (2). For this reason, Mountain Forests enjoy a Special PROTECTION-STATUS (A).

The special thing about this PROTECTION worthiness STATUS is that no Mountain Forest can be denied this. Every Forest in the Mountains possesses this Protection-Status! In contrast to flat normal sites with a lot of ownership areas, MOUNTAIN FORESTS are considered as CORE AREAS and PRECIOUS TREASURES of the THE GENERAL PUBLIC (STATUS A). This Special Protection Status A is deeply rooted in most regions of the world and forms the basis for the Designation and Declaration of mountain forests as Nature Parks or Protected Forests.

Mountain forests and their surroundings are considered the Basis (CORE AREAS) for the protection of Scenic Beauty and hidden wilderness (1) and are therefore of the utmost importance to the general public (2).

The Classification of the Protection Worthiness of mountain forests as a Core Areas (1) and their Common Property- Character (2) together result in mountain forests being regarded as an CORE AREA and Precious Treasure of the General Public (A = Special PROTECTION worthiness- STATUS).

PROTECTION STATUS of Mountain Forests:

Mountain Forests: CORE AREAS of Scenic Beauty and Secret Wilds – Precious TREASURES of the GENERAL PUBLIC

Mountain Forests = PRECIOUS TREASURES (CORE AREAS) of the GENERAL PUBLIC (Special Common Property Character)

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

From (A = PROTECTION-STATUS) it 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 done by Designating or Declaring mountain forests as Areas Worthy of Special Protection with a Special Protection-Status, such as Nature Protection Forests, Nature Parks, National Parks, Protected Community Forests, or by granting mountain forests a General Protection-Status, such as Protective Forests or Recreational Forests.

Examples of Awards or Designations of Mountain Forests:

Protection-Status (A):

Mountain Forests = PRECIOUS TREASURES (CORE-AREAS) of the GENERAL PUBLIC (Special Common Property Character)

Special Protection-Status:

Mountain Forest as Protected Area: Designation as a Nature Park, National Park,

Regional Park, Landscape Conservation Park etc.

Mountain Forests as a Priority Area for Protection in Biosphere Reserves

Mountain Forests as Wilderness Area

Mountain Forests as a World Cultural and Natural Site

Mountain Forests as Protected Ghost Forests

Mountain Forest as Protected Community Forest

General Protection-Status:

Mountain Forests = Central Identification Object and Primary Homeland Symbol

Mountain Forests = Priority Area for Nature and Landscape Protection

Mountain Forests = Conservation Forest and Recreation Forests

Mountain Forests = Protection Forests (Specially Protected Forests)

(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 the PROTECTION-STATUS (A), the Mountain Forest is also protected by Landscape-Planning (B) in the region. This Planning places particular emphasis on ensuring that mountain forests and their surroundings remain close to nature, unfragmented, and free of development. In many regions of the world, Nature Protection Plans and Reforestation Programs are implemented primarily in mountainous areas.

Since hills and mountains are unsuitable for settlement or agriculture due to unfavorable conditions, but at the same time represent the best locations for nature- and landscape protection, these areas offer ideal conditions for hill and mountain forests. A generally accepted Principle in Landscape Planning is to keep hills and elevated areas free of settlement and agriculture. This enhances the aesthetic appearance of the region and promotes the well-being of residents by preserving views of the Hilly Forest Landscapes and strengtening nature experiences. From the surrounding hills, the settlement and fields becomes especially tangible, while residents are also provided with an impressive view of the Forest Landscape.

Public resistance to harmful interventions in these regions is strong, leading to nationwide awareness and general recognition of mountain forests as habitats worthy of special protection. People's close connection to mountain forests makes them their most energetic defenders and protectors. As a result, supra-regional Associations and Organizations have been formed that actively work to protect these areas and prevent construction projects that could potentially endanger the natural environment.

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

From (B = Landscape-Planning) it results in a continuos emergence of new Forces from the GENERAL PUBLIC committed to the Protection, Preservation and Expansion of the Mountain Forests. Protection Programs such as Reforestation Initiatives and Nature Protection 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, also plays a crucial role.

Protection-Programmes and Alliances:

Protection Programs for Mountain Forests:

Protection Plans or Reforestation Programs are primarly implemented in mountainous areas around the world. The sight of bare, deserted mountains is unappealing to anyone. Rather, people want to see forests grow on the steep slopes, enriching life and eliminating the dreary appearance of treeless mountains. It's therefore not surprising that reforestation programs, especially in the mountains, are enjoying great popularity in many communities around the world, with many participants from the surrounding areas planting and protecting new mountain forests.

Alliances and Networks for the Protection and Defence of Mountain Forests:

The list of Alliances and Networks for Landscape Protection that have successfully prevented the worst natural crimes worldwide is long. Based on various conflicts in the field of nature and landscape conservation, I found that in particular Mountain Forests were most strongly protected and defended against proposed projects by large Alliances and Networks in specific cases.
