“…El tercero advertía de la relación temprana entre turismo y AP, una relación cada vez más contundente a partir de la institucionalización de la economía del ocio, la democratización del turismo y la explosión de la industria del turismo global (MacCannell, 1999). En el contexto actual del capitalismo posfordista, la factoría de lo natural es un negocio rentable, por su facultad de generar experiencias turísticas auténticas y de producir valor inmaterial (López y Pardo, 2018;Boltanski y Chiapello, 2002;. El ansia por consumir lo prístino, relacionado con un cronotopo prefordista, convierte a las AP en un poderoso reclamo turístico y una oportunidad de negocio .…”

En este artículo realizamos una aproximación sociohistórica al primer movimiento conservacionista español, acercándonos a sus raíces y a las lógicas que se pusieron en funcionamiento para la protección de las primeras áreas protegidas. El periodo de revisión lo centramos desde la Ley de creación de los parques nacionales (1916) hasta la Segunda República, cerrando con la Guerra Civil (1936). Al final del texto sintetizamos las principales aportaciones de esta inicial patrimonialización de la naturaleza, viendo sus contribuciones y sus limitaciones. A modo de conclusión, sostenemos que algunos de los elementos decimonónicos que inspiraron la conservación de la naturaleza siguen vigentes, por lo que podemos rastrear rasgos que todavía perviven en las declaratorias de áreas protegidas cien años después. Eso sí, redefinidos, reinterpretados y recontextualizados.

“…In recent decades, a burgeoning artisanal cheese industry has emerged, including several cheeses with protected designation of origin. This has maintained a local market for milk and a relatively high profitability among producers, despite challenging conditions that restrict flock size and management (González-Álvarez, 2015;López and Pardo, 2018). The landscape is characterized by abrupt limestone peaks (0-2,600 MAMSL), intermingled with forest patches and biodiverse temperate grasslands (García Manteca et al, 2018;OECC., 2019).…”

Wolf populations are recovering across Europe and readily recolonize most areas where humans allow their presence. Reintegrating wolves in human-dominated landscapes is a major challenge, particularly in places where memories and experience of coexistence have been lost. Despite the observed expansion trends, little has been done to prepare communities for the return of these apex predators, or to understand what fosters and perpetuates coexistence. In this study, we present a theoretical framework for resilient coexistence based on four conditions: Effective institutions, large carnivore persistence, social legitimacy, and low levels of risk and vulnerability, nested within the social-ecological systems (SES) concept. To empirically show how the conditions can be manifested and interconnected, and how this knowledge could be used to improve local coexistence capacities, the framework is applied in a case study of human–wolf relations in Spain. We examined three traditionally pastoral landscapes at different states of cohabitation with wolves: uninterrupted presence, recent recolonization, and imminent return. We found that both the perceptions of wolves and the capacity to coexist with them diverged across these states, and that this was largely determined by a diversity of vulnerabilities that have not been recognized or addressed within current management regimes, such as economic precarity and weak legitimacy for governing institutions. Our results illustrate the importance of working in close contact with communities to understand local needs and enhance adaptive capacities in the face of rural transitions, beyond those directly related to wolves. The framework complements emerging tools for coexistence developed by researchers and practitioners, which offer guidance on the process of situational analysis, planning, and resource allocation needed to balance large carnivore conservation with local livelihoods.

“…From a social point of view, traditional activities (agriculture or forestry) have been unable to retain the population in remote NPs [97]. In Picos de Europa, depopulation has had negative consequences for socioeconomic development and environmental conservation [98]. Naturbanisation (counter-urbanisation) might help strengthen the social fabric and revert population ageing [99].…”

Proposal of a System for Assessment of the Sustainability of Municipalities (Sasmu) Included in the Spanish Network of National Parks and Their Surroundings

It is usually considered that Protected Areas (PAs) are an efficient tool for policies to conserve biodiversity. However, there is evidence that some pressures and threats arise from processes taking place both inside them and in their surroundings territories—habitat loss, changes in land use, fragmentation of natural ecosystems. In this paper, we aim to test the hypothesis that municipalities located in the Socioeconomic Influence Zones (SIZs) of the fifteen National Parks (NPs) in Spain are more sustainable than those in their surroundings or, conversely, that the municipalities of their surroundings are more unsustainable. To measure their sustainability, we propose a system for assessment using fifteen indicators selected by experts. The methodology is based on the normalization of the data of each indicator, comparing them with a desirable target value defined in terms of sector policies and strategies. We then aggregate the indicators for each group in three indices that cover the classic dimensions of sustainability—environmental, economic and social. On a network scale, the results show that municipalities inside the SIZs are 1.594 points more sustainable environmentally, 0.108 economically and 0.068 socially than those of their surroundings. A system for assessment of the sustainability of municipalities (SASMU) may be a useful tool for NP managers, and for local and regional administrations, when setting priorities for policies, projects and compensation for regulatory restrictions related to NPs.
