RESUMEN: Los montes de Cantabria albergan bienes comunales de indudable valor económico para las poblaciones rurales, uno lo suministra el bosque, es la leña que se emplea para proveer de fuego y calor a los hogares; otro son los pastos, recursos forrajeros para la alimentación del ganado doméstico. De ambos vienen disponiendo consuetudinariamente los vecinos vinculados a ayuntamientos o juntas vecinales titulares de los montes, lo que popularmente se conoce como el derecho a pastos y leñas. Esta investigación trata sobre los primeros, los denominados pastos comunales, ante la constatación de una progresiva degradación del recurso con graves repercusiones económicas, pero también ambientales, debido a su consideración de hábitats de interés para la conservación a nivel europeo y su localización preferente en espacios naturales protegidos. Tras constatar la dificultad que implica la transferencia de propuestas de mejora, aun sometiéndolas a procesos participativos, se avanza un enfoque metodológico innovador que permita incorporar a la planificación la experiencia histórica de gestión de las poblaciones locales. Con ello se contribuye a formular criterios de gestión coherentes no solo con la naturaleza semi-natural de los pastos, creada y reproducida secularmente por la acción del hombre y el ganado, sino también con los usos y costumbres de la población arraigada en el territorio, hacia quienes es fácil transferir prácticas que perciben como propias.
ABSTRACT: The mountains of Cantabria include Commons of undoubted economic value for the rural population, one of which is provided by the forest, being the firewood that is used to heat the homes; another is the pastures to feed the domestic livestock. Both have been used by customary right by the residents in the municipalities or parishes which are the titleholders of the land. This research concerns the former, those known as common pastures, due to progressive degradation of the resource with serious economic repercussions, and also environmental consequences, as a result of their status as habitats of interest for conservation at a European level, and their location mainly in protected areas. After recognizing the difficulty of the transmission of proposals for improvement, even when they are submitted to participatory processes, an innovative methodological approach has been started, which allows the inclusion in the planning of the historical experience of management of the local population. In this way a contribution is made both to the planning, coherent with the semi-natural nature of the pastures, created and maintained for centuries by the action of man and livestock, and also in accordance with the traditional uses of the local population, to whom it is easy to transmit practices which they perceive as their own.
