How many more “Untrodden Mountains”?

The output of our research is available as an open map in Google Earth (see research outputs – databases -v2) and suggestions on the use of the national roadless map of Greece in national environmental policy and legislation are included in the policy brief-2022 (Research outputs-Policy briefs). Here we show only the large undisturbed natural areas over 10 sqm for visualization reasons.

 

The below inventory includes 55 roadless areas of Greece over 10 sqkm. The natural undisturbed areas without roads (AFP) are presented, i.e. the roadless areas (RAs) with their buffer zone of one km, with decreasing order in terms of AFP size. Their overlap with Natura 2000 is noted (%) and whether the area is in the mainland (H) or in an island (N) or/and an island completely without roads N-NAFP. The areas that have already been protected through Ministerial Decisions as roadless areas are noted and, in this case, the protected area (sqkm) is presented.
