This term refers to the management and care that community networks provide to sustain life, land and the commons in relationships of interdependence between people and Earth. Communities hold wisdom about their territories: they are acquainted with their needs and implement technologies that yield real solutions for sustainable care, regeneration, repair, and growth. Community land management is an act of resistance that goes beyond conserving (poorly labeled) ‘natural resources’ and ecosystems, embracing profound, dignified, and creative relationships with Nature to preserve life on Earth.
