The Biodiversity Foundation, a public foundation of the Government of Spain, under the Ministry of the Environment, Rural and Marine Affairs, has launched the www.custodia-territorio.es website. This portal, which is part of the Stewardship Platform of the Biodiversity Foundation, collects all the available information on land stewardship and aims to host a discussion forum whose objective is to facilitate and support relations between the different stewardship entities and/or interested persons, promote common projects between the different entities and serve as a space for the exchange of experiences and knowledge.

The website seeks to bring together all the available information of interest on land stewardship as well as being a dynamic support, an effective and participatory tool, which meets the objectives of informing, training and raising awareness in society. Likewise, it is intended that this portal contributes to the promotion of the involvement and commitment of entities with the stewardship of the territory, as well as the dissemination of the Platform itself.

The Land Stewardship Platform is an initiative of the Biodiversity Foundation that arises as a result of its growing involvement in recent years with this tool for the conservation of natural heritage and the landscape, and the result of the commitment achieved by this entity with the land stewardship movement.

The Land Stewardship Platform seeks to become a meeting place for all the land stewardship networks and entities that carry out their activity in the Spanish State, providing them with support and encouraging them to continue working in this line.

In addition to seeking the collaboration of all the actors in the stewardship movement to develop the different activities of the Platform and to promote this conservation tool in our country, the Platform proposes different objectives such as contributing to the enhancement of stewardship as a viable management tool for the conservation of natural resources, cultural and landscape; to promote the creation of meeting spaces for custodian entities to exchange knowledge and experiences; compile and update specialised databases on custodial entities and their specific activity; to promote cooperation between them; disseminate reference documents for stewardship activities that may be generated in the context of the stewardship movement, as well as prepare documents and reports of analysis, synthesis and debate that are of interest to these entities; and offer l! to the most up-to-date information on custody in Spanish territory.
