Abstract
[Resumen]
Los Montes Vecinales en Mano Común (MVMC), organizaciones auto-gestionadas de
Galicia, proporcionan servicios ecosistémicos vitales. En la actualidad, 3.391 MVMC poseen aproximadamente el 20 % del suelo de Galicia, organizando históricamente la explotación y distribución colectivas de los recursos naturales. La política de reforestación del siglo XX afectó significativamente al ecosistema de bosques mixtos autóctonos, utilizando monocultivos de árboles foráneos de crecimiento rápido para sustituirlos. En la última década, algunos MVMC han identificado la restauración de los montes como una prioridad. Se realiza una encuesta sobre la percepción de las mujeres del mundo rural con el fin de obtener una investigación situada, una valoración del apoyo de la gestión pública a la provisión de servicios ecosistémicos basada en las normativas desarrolladas, y se presentan seis iniciativas modelo de MVMC sostenibles. Se concluye que el papel modesto de los MVMC dentro de Infraestructura Verde de Galicia no avanza en el mismo sentido que la observada tendencia de sus asambleas, hacia la conservación, protección
y mejora de la calidad medioambiental.
[Abstract] The Neighbourhood Forest Communities (NFCs), self-managed organizations in Galicia, provide vital ecosystem services. Currently, 3.391 NFCs own approximately 20 % of Galicia's territory, historically organizing the collective exploitation and distribution of natural resources. The reforestation policy of the 20th century significantly affected the native mixed forest ecosystem, using monocultures of fast-growing foreign trees to replace them. In the last decade, some NFCs have identified forest ecosystem restoration as a priority. A survey of rural women's perceptions is conducted in order to obtain situated research, an assessment of public management support for the provision of ecosystem services based on the regulations developed and six model initiatives of sustainable NFCs are presented. It is concluded that the modest role of the NFCs within Green Infrastructure of Galicia does not advance in the same direction as the observed trend of their assemblies, towards conservation, protection and improvement of environmental quality.
