Abstract
La participación de las personas y las comunidades que viven en lugares inscritos en la Lista del Patrimonio Mundial (o que se ven directamente afectadas por la inscripción) en la toma de decisiones respecto a su identificación, protección y gestión, es uno de los principales retos que debe afrontar la Convención de Patrimonio Mundial para alcanzar su anhelada credibilidad. Esta participación real y activa, exigible en todos los tipos de bienes culturales y naturales (independientemente de su categoría de protección), es especialmente necesaria en el caso de los pertenecientes al Patrimonio agrario. En primer lugar porque la gestión de los sitios y paisajes agrarios debe respetar las técnicas de manejo tradicionales y basarse en los derechos y conocimientos de las comunidades locales, imprescindibles para asegurar la supervivencia e integridad de sus valores tangibles e intangibles. Y en segundo lugar porque la continuidadv de estos espacios depende íntegramente de las actividades – y por lo tanto de las personas- que les han dado forma y sin las cuales se convertirían en lugares inertes y faltos de sustancia y autenticidad. Partiendo de estas premisas,este estudio analiza y compara los principios de la Carta de Baeza sobre el Patrimonio agrario y los planes de gestión de los bienes agrarios inscritos en la Lista del Patrimonio Mundial para identificar ejemplos de buenas prácticas en la materia y proponer estrategias que mejoren el reconocimiento y la participación de los agricultores, ganaderos y silvicultores en su protección, manejo y promoción.
The involvement of people and communities living in places inscribed in the World Heritage List (or who are directly affected by nominations) in decision making regarding their identification, protection and management is one of the major challenges that the World Heritage Convention has to face to achieve its desired credibility.This real and active participation, enforceable for all types of cultural and natural properties (regardless of their protection category), is especially necessary in the case of those belonging to the Agrarian Heritage. First because the management of agrarian heritage sites and landscapes must respect traditional management techniques and be based on the rights and knowledge of local communities, which are essential to ensure the survival and integrity of their tangible and intangible values. And second, because the continuity of these spaces depends entirely on the activities --and therefore the people-- that have shaped them and without which they would become inert places lacking substance and authenticity. Bearing in mind these requirements, this paper analyses and compares the principles of the Charter of Baeza on Agrarian Heritage and the management plans of agrarian heritage properties inscribed in the World Heritage List in order to identify examples of best practices in this area and propose strategies to improve the recognition and participation of farmers, livestock handlers and foresters in their protection, management and promotion.
