The Alto Douro Vinhateiro Region, classified by UNESCO since December 2001 as a World Heritage Site in the category of cultural landscape, is an example where landscape and socio-cultural practices merge. Viticulture has a very large socio-economic and cultural impact on the region.

This type of classification by UNESCO obeys very strict criteria and factors such as degradation of the landscape or social and cultural heritage can lead to the withdrawal of this status, which have an impact on tourism, sources of funding, etc.

So that this does not happen, it is necessary to preserve the Douro Region.
