Rural areas of Mediterranean watersheds face enormous environmental challenges in managing and responding to water scarcity, reducing erosion, and conserving their rich biodiversity. These problems have been aggravated by practices of mismanagement of the territory. In this context, MASBIO is framed with the objective of proposing actions for sustainable land management at the level of the river basin, for the Mijares River. Sustainable land management practices are adaptation actions that generate synergies between the hydrosphere, atmosphere and biosphere, and promote sustainable rural development. MASBIO proposes to propose such proposals as a result of scientific research, the use of existing traditional and administrative knowledge for the generation of new knowledge and flexible and open access tools, including the use of artificial intelligence and the active involvement of key actors in the basin.
