In Portugal, the management of common lands is carried out by local communities, who assume responsibility for the use and conservation of these territories. This management is essential to ensure a balance between the exploitation of natural resources and environmental protection.

Good management of common lands helps prevent fires, promotes forest sustainability, and supports the rural economy. Forestry associations play an important role in this process, offering technical support and guidance to communities.

BPAFADR – Associação Florestal works directly with local communities, helping to improve the management of common lands in Portugal and to enhance the value of these natural resources.
