The effects of revegetation in the natural environment and perception of the people linked to Camero Viejo (Iberian System)

Abstract

The perception of the population linked to Cameros Viejo (Iberian System) about the
revegetation process and its impacts on the natural environment is studied. We carried out 40 depth semi-structured interviews. The interviewee’ answers are corroborated with the
results of scientific works carried out in the study area and in other nearby areas of the
Mediterranean mountains. Moreover, it is observed that the local population shows a more
realistic perception than the foreign population about the changes in the natural environment
