Abstract

One of the main impediments to a correct forest management has to do with serious gaps in public participation and stakeholders’ involvement in drawing up and carrying out public policies. The Natura 2000 Montemuro Mountain Site is paradigmatic of this situation. By looking at a set of interviews conducted to several entities with ties to the forest sector in that territory, this paper identifies their perception as regards the forest in Montemuro Mountain. Results show both the lack of participation and communication among the various stakeholders and the absenteeism of many forest owners as important factors conditioning forest management.
