The actions of this project highlight the value of the local silvopastoral systems of the rural communities that sustain them, as well as the environmental benefits that drive specific initiatives, generate green employment, useful technical information to incorporate into forest management plans and facilitate measures to address them. EcoForGaM actively involves local rural communities in silvopastoral management, strengthening their capacity to adapt to climate change and their proactivity to conserve it.
The main objective of EcoForGaM is to promote a multifunctional and resilient forest bioeconomy model in mountain territories of Madrid and Castilla y León.
