The subjects of monitoring will be the territorial systems listed in the attached factsheets and, in particular, it will be concerned with the ecosystems, habitats and ecosystemic components of most naturalistic, environmental and social value. On the basis of these objectives, the organisational chart for the survey activities is drawn up, in other terms, the areas of observation, procedures, timeframes and indicators which, according to current knowledge, are the most effective means to define the most valuable ecological systems, and how to ensure their continued existence in conditions of safety. Nowadays exist monitoring programmers already established for the entire nominated area (core zone and buffer zones), for example surfaces occupied by vegetation systems as specified by letters a, b, e and f in the schedule of each System. Currently, each Administration monitors the area independently but an undertaking has been made to develop a common monitoring plan in the short term: The organisation chart for monitoring is given in table 6.a. The objective of the survey plan today is to fully develop the experience accumulated, and to allow for the future integration of these programs in keeping with the harmonisation process between provincial technical facilities and between these facilities and other bodies engaged in the periodical assessment of the natural systems.
