Summary
A study of the Serra de Tramuntana (Mallorca) reveals that forest landscapes are shaped by subjective, socially embedded, and politically charged perceptions, challenging a purely objective view of environmental management. Using ethnographic methods, researchers found that these landscapes provoke memory and are continuously remade through human agency, reflecting historical and cultural dynamics. The findings highlight the polyvalent nature of forests—simultaneously symbols of regeneration and deterioration—suggesting that their management must account for diverse, often conflicting narratives to sustain ecological and cultural integrity.
