Working towards these commitments

Recognize and protect the diverse tenure and production systems upon which people’s livelihoods depend, including the communal and customary tenure systems of smallholders, indigenous peoples, pastoralists, fisher folks, and holders of overlapping, shifting and periodic rights to land and other natural resources, even when these are not recognized by law, and whilst also acknowledging that the well-being of resource-users may be affected by changes beyond the boundaries of the land to which they have tenure rights.

Diverse Tenure Systems

Enable the role of local land users in territorial and ecosystem management, recognizing that sustainable development and the stewardship of ecosystems are best achieved through participatory decision-making and management at the territorial-level, empowering local land users and their communities with the authority, means and incentives to carry out this responsibility.

Mission

The mission developed by the "Montes de Socios" Initiative is to visualize, recover and value the mountains of partners, through citizen participation models and through the implementation of a development model that is based on the conservation of natural resources.


Objectives

The objectives of the "Montes de Socios" Initiative are to consolidate the legal and tax framework of the partner forests; to continue to spread knowledge about the existence of the partner forests; to keep encouraging the creation of Management Boards; and to develop models of conservation and enhancement for the forests of partners that generate employment.
