The best practice was the ecological restoration of natural habitats from rainfed croplands in the protected area of the mud volcanos of Macalube d'Aragona (Sicily).  The practice consisted of the plantation of authoctonous plant species that are very relevant for local biodiversity such as Lygeum spartum and the protection of the primary grassland consortia (Bromo-Oryzopsion miliaceae, Moricandio-Lygeion sparti, Frankenion pulverulentae, ecc.). Wheat monocropping was threatening the natural habitats surrounding the volcanos, through wetlands drainage and soil manipulation. The institution of the Protected Area generated new conflicts between farmers, environmentalists and the regional government, which envisaged the opportunities to develop the tourist attraction potential .
The case study is particularly relevant in relation to the social learning process that transformed a conflict of interests into a concerted action.
Farmers were involved by environmentalists in a learning process that led to the conversion of wheat monocropping into diversified cropping systems based on legumes and cereals outside the protected area.  
The process was triggered by the Macalife project (www.macalife.it), that opened new opportunities to create a learning platform in which scientific and local knowledge were integrated. Mud volcanos played the role of "mediating object" around which environmentalists were able to deconstruct and rebuild a new deal with farmers, that shift from intensive farming to environmental restoration. A new cooperative enterprise was created, which is responsible of the maintenance of the habitats while generating income from the thousands of visitors of the site, thus contributing to the rural development of the whole area.|

The climate of southern Sicily is semi-arid and dry sub-humid (WMO-UNEP Aridity Index). IN the nearest weather station (Agrigento, 313 msl) annual maximum temperatures range between 14 and 30°C, minimum temperatures 7.7 and 21.4 °C. Average annual rainfall is 497 mm. At regional level, in the period 1921-2002  temperature increased by 1.5 °C and average annual rainfall declined by 158 mm.
Hilly with slopes ranging from 5% to 40%. Arable land includes steep slope and soil erosion by water is frequent in the area.
Soil of cropped areas are eutric fluviosols developed on clay hills.
In the protected area of Macalube soils are heavy clay generated by sedimentary volcanism

According to the National Institute of Statistics data (2006) the main economic activities and their share of the regional GDP is:
Agriculture, fishing 3,52 %
Industry 9,30%
Construction 5,52%
Commerce, tourism 18,28%
Services 28,28%
Finance, real estate 21,29%|
The average per capita GDP in the province of Agrigento  (14.790 Euro) is below both the average country value ( 30.680 Euro)  and the Sicily average ( 17.533 Euro) (year 2008).
Land ownership or rent is the dominant land tenure in these rural areas. The cropped area surronding the mud volcanos was sold by private owners to the Regional Government following the participatory actions implemented by the local Environmental NGO, with the scientific support of researchers of the University of Palermo.|

The practice was considered as 'best' on the basis of the analysis of the efficacy, efficiency, effectiveness of the practice.
- The paradigm shift of farmers was considered as an indicator of efficacy of the actions of the environmentalist NGO and the University researchers leading the informal facilitation platform
- The relatively low investements put in place through the Macalife project was considered as an indicator of efficiency.
- The non-coercive shift of farmers that became managers of the protected area through the cooperative enterprise and the willingness to carry on with a self-organized adaptive management of the protected area were considered as indicators of effectiveness. |

The researchers of the University of Palermo developed a protocol for the collection, multiplication, nursery installation and plantation of the main endangered native species
typical of the habitats surrounding the mud volcanos. This protocol was implemented using low-cost technologies based on conventional farming practices. The job requirements were recruited within the local farmers. FArmers were also involved in the restoration of some degradad habitats where the soil was manipulated and drainage implemented for farming purposes.|

Macalube d'Aragona case study is emblematic of the potential benefits related to the shift in perceiving the same natural habitat from a constraint to productivity to a source of income from integrated management.
The rehabilitation of the degraded habitats and the institution of the cooperative significantly increased the tourist flow in the area.
Crop productivity was not substantially affected by the intervention
The learning system that was developed around the ecological restoration of the mud volcanos habitat is a guarantee of effectiveness of the action in the long term.

សូមពន្យល់ពីហេតុផល:

Restoration of habitats and multiplication of authoctonous germplasm of endangered plant species was the main task of the intervention. The monitoring of natural habitats indicates on one side the efficacy of the intervention, on the other side the need of contonuous management  (e.g. through grazing) of some of the priority habitats (e.g. grasslands) in order to maintain the ideal conditions for in-situ germplasm conservation.|
Farming systems in the area are vulnerable to climate change for the risks associated to envisaged changes in rainfall and temperature. The learning process triggered by the intervention provided new options of multifunctionality and adaptive managing to farmers
The area is too small to provide significant impact on climate change mitigation

The conflict between farmers and environmentalists was effectively approached through the integration of scientific and local knowledge, facilitated by the attitude to dialogue of the NGO's operators (whose regional leader is a farmer)|
The availability of funds (project Macalife) triggered the intervention through NGO's and scientists, supported the purchase of private land in the procteted area and the capacity building programme for farmers. |
The (EU and regional) policy framework provided spaces for involvement of local stakeholder in the management of priority habitats.

External funding (i.e. EU) were essential to trigger the process. However, comparing with similar situations in the same region, in this case the cost of the intervention was well repaid by its effectiveness|We don't have precise figures of the cost of the entire intervention, also because the current management is integrated in agricultural practices: further data should be collected to make a comparative balance.
