Exploring our Common Ground – a networking event on the grazing commons in Europe

First published on 11/19/2015, and last updated on 03/10/2019

On the 18th-19th of November 2015, the first networking meeting on the grazing commons was held in Brussels, organised by the European Forum on Nature Conservation and Pastoralism, in collaboration with the ICCA Consortium in Europe and with financial support from the Foundation for Common Land in the UK, the Asociación Trashumancia y Naturaleza in Spain and the European Commission (DG Environment).  Together, the participants  shared  experiences and helped raise each other’s awareness about the use of common land.

The main objectives of the meeting were 1) getting to know each other and our circumstances; 2)    finding our commonalities, especially the ones where we could potentially act together, either as a whole group or in smaller partnerships, and 3) identifying common areas of work and building  a prioritised plan of action for the next 2 years.
