Case Study 1 Agricultural Subsidies and Cork Oak Ecosystems 45 CASE STUDIES Funding instrument(s) involved CAP (Pillar 1), EAGGF Main effects Management of the cork oak ecosystem in southern Portugal is directly or indirectly supported to a large extent by EU funding. However, this funding is often misdirected, and so it only contributes marginally to solve major problems such as the increased risk and incidence of fire, increased severity of tree diebacks, reduced natural regeneration and loss of biodiversity. Indeed, EU funding may in at least some cases aggravate such problems, by supporting for instance the intensification of cattle grazing and ineffective and damaging fire prevention actions.
