The Valdeavellano de Tera Declaration on the Recognition and defence of the Commons and ICCAs in Spain

The Declaration of Valdeavellano de Tera, for the defense and recognition of community uses and ICCA in Spain, is a collective document whereby Iniciativa Comunales wants to establish basic principles to foster the political recognition of this huge but little known economic, social and environmental heritage in Spain. On the other hand, this Declaration aims to open a social debate and to contribute to the recognition of the values of these uses and their related heritage by society at large. Finally, it pretends to rediscover the potential of these forms of governance on natural areas for the future. The Silene Association has supported the Declaration.
