Résumé
The 'Chaine des Puys/Limagne fault' is a unique landscape located in the French Massif Central, and famous for its original and perfect landforms. For more than 400 years, it has been subjected to various local, national, and European policies intended to protect its 'natural' and open aspect. Though these landscapes look natural, they are the result of interactions between local forest- and grassland-management practices, natural vegetation dynamics, and regulation by environmental policies. Some parts of the area have seen their biodiversity and landscape quality increase, but others have been abandoned or forested, resulting in closed landscapes and reduced biodiversity. Based on a review and a systemic analysis of the policies, this article aims to analyse the reasons for their lack of effectiveness, and propose some principles that can help future policies to be more effective in protecting mountain grazing landscapes with the support of local communities.
