RESUMENAnalizamos el conflicto que desde 1970 se mantiene entre diversos actores acerca de una de las más importantes colonias de buitre negro (Aegypius monachus) de la Península: entre los partidarios de los eucaliptos y los partidarios de los buitres. Se trata de un conflicto a la vez patrimonial y ambiental. Veremos cómo el buitre negro a un lado y el eucalipto al otro han llegado a ser ejes de un simbolismo que confronta el paradigma productivista y el ecologista en sus respectivas jerarquías valorativas.Palabras clave: Patrimonio natural; Recurso; Conflicto ambiental; Ecologismo; Productivismo.
SUMMARYWe seek to analyse the conflict that has existed since 1970 between different social players regarding one of the major black vulture colonies (Aegypius monachus) in the Iberian Peninsula: between those who defend the eucalyptus plantations and those supporting the black vulture. The conflict is both about heritage and the environment. We will see how the black vulture on the one side, and the eucalyptus on the other, have become the lynchpin of a symbolism that confronts the paradigm of productivism and environmentalism in their respective evaluative hierarchies.
The following pages define the participation and influence of environmental entities in the different environmental conflicts in a protected natural area in the south of the Iberian Peninsula. Their trajectories and positions are analyzed reflecting on the significance and controversies contained in the political proposal of environmental organizations in the current context of “growthism” development.
