Abstract

The aim of this work is to report the difficult situation of traditional productive sectors in Doñana, Spain, together with the invisibility of the potential of these sectors in building towards the conservation or sustainability of the region. This potential is based on environmental values, management, usage, skills and pre-modern productive practices, which, precisely because of their departure from science and rationale, will be overlooked when building a sustainable
model of society for Doñana. There have been numerous ethnographic works dedicated to cattle farming in Doñana because of its unique characteristics but what roles do the rest of the traditional collectives in the Doñana Natural Area play? What does the future hold for them?
We want to focus in how do the residents of the area view the marginalised state of these activities? These are activities that, some people feel, should aim to become the bond between the protected area and its people.
