“…In spite of the daunting scenario, Frojám, with just 20 inhabitants, has become an example of how community-based projects can make a difference in restoring biocultural heritage [43][44][45] and even reformulating hegemonic top-down conservation projects in Western societies [46]. A management plan drafted in 2018 to restore the 'Campo de Lamas' wetland within the enclosed area was selected as one of four pilot case studies in Spain of climate change adaptation of natural management initiatives [15].…”

The role and importance of a built structure are closely related to the surrounding area, with interest in a given area having a concomitant effect on the relevance given to the constructions it may hold. Heritage interest in landscape areas has grown in recent times leading to a sound valorisation process. This connects with the recent concept of biological cultural heritage (BCH), or biocultural heritage (definition still in process), that can be understood as domesticated landscapes resulting from long-term biological and social relationships. Although pastoral enclosures (in large part dry-stone walling, whose construction has been recognised by UNESCO as Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity since 2018) arise as traditional rural constructions linked with a way of life already disappearing, engaged local communities are recovering their biocultural value in terms of identity and positive conservation outcomes. In this sense, this article focuses on valuing traditional stone-built pastoral enclosures in two locations on the Atlantic coast of western Europe: Frojám (NW Iberian Peninsula) and Ladydown Moor (SW England). Findings concerning plant communities related to current or ancient pastoralism, and artefacts of built heritage are described, and an emphasis is placed on community engagement as a mechanism for conservation. The resilience of species-rich grassland communities is identified as a manifestation of biocultural heritage and an opportunity for habitat restoration. Finally, current trends and improvements in understanding of biological heritage and community conservation are addressed.

“…In Portugal, community forests were mostly run on the basis of a co-management agreement with forest services, state extractive forestry practices dominated and community participation was low (Baptista 2010, Serra andAllegretti 2020). In contrast, communities in Galicia have generally taken full responsibility for their community forests for more than ten years, and they have developed activities to satisfy their needs and desires as a community while caring for forests, such as protecting community culture and identity and activating community relations (Marey-Pérez et al 2010, Caballero 2015, Copena Rodríguez 2018, Cidrás et al 2018.…”

A critical research agenda to study human and more-than-human communities 'If our species does not survive the ecological crisis, it will probably be due to our failure... to work out new ways to live with the earth, to rework ourselves... We will go onwards in a different mode of humanity, or not at all' 13 Within these ethics and values, however, the commoners' agency is relational, influenced by their (power) position in the network of relations and their daily interactions with others. This relational understanding of agency and community transcends the usual divisions between self and community, between the human and non-human, allowing the development of a richer understanding of agency, one that is able to better incorporate the manifold political, social, moral, and affective dimensions of agency (Nightingale 2011).Further elaborating on the work of such authors as Singh (2018b), Nightingale (2019) and García-López et al. ( 2021), I conceptualise commoning in this thesis as a socio-natural process of reconnecting communities to forests. This includes fostering caring and responsible attitudes towards forests that create political more-thanhuman communities. This approach denaturalizes forests, turning the human-forest relationship itself into the main object of study. Commoning socio-natural practices in forests contribute to the (re)production of communities in terms of livelihoods, but they also (re)create identities, cultures and political subjectivities. Socio-natural practices are thus 'affective', indicating how commoners, communities and forests are co-constituted through commoning practices.The main question that guides this research is the following:• How does commoning help us to better understand and enhance the agency of commoners in community forests and their contribution to sustainability transformations?The purpose of this overarching question is to focus on the development a model of agency that better explains why and how people engage with community forests and the practices, meanings and outcomes that emerge from this. In this way, the relevance and role of community forests -or better, the commoning initiatives emerging within these contexts -to sustainability transformations can be analysed and discussed in a critical manner. The focus is thus the agency of commoners and the in-between process by which forest and commoners are co-constituted; it does not include ecological measurements that quantify forest change.Place-based research can identify the structures that limit sustainability transformations and need to be changed. The implementation of policies and practices can only find its most ...

Los incendios forestales han sido un tema central para diferentes disciplinas, lo que ha permitido su análisis desde múltiples perspectivas. La historia agraria ha sido una de ellas, sin embargo, es posible advertir una laguna incluso en las historiografías que han prestado mayor atención al estudio del fuego y sus usos, aquella que tiene que ver con la integración del rol desempeñado por las mujeres y el género. Este artículo ofrece una aproximación a este asunto valiéndose de un estudio de caso centrado en Galicia (España), un espacio definido por una elevada incidencia de los incendios forestales y por una drástica transformación de la cultura del fuego desde mediados del siglo XX en el contexto de una mutación de los usos de los espacios comunales.
