Governing the forest: the challenge of an under-resourced private forestry model

Source Summary

More than half of Catalonia is forest. These are forest areas that over the last century have grown where there were once fields, crops, and agricultural activity that, over time, has been abandoned. And nature has reclaimed the land. These are young and dense forests that have occupied the space left by rural exodus and agricultural abandonment, which over the last century have pushed the population of villages towards cities.
