Management considerations The main threats are the afforestation of pasture and steppic habitats with pine Pinus and false acacia Robinia, overgrowth by scrub, and intensive hunting. Work to remove Robinia and Crataegus from grasslands has begun, and watering holes have been constructed. Plans exist to propose the area as a Biosphere Reserve. A management plan exists for the site.
