Sumario:[EN] This paper analyses the perception of stakeholders in Cameros Viejo (Iberian Mountain Range, Spain) concerning the re-vegetation process, its causes, its consequences and the socioeconomic impacts on the natural environment. Twenty-five semi-structured interviews were conducted. The results clearly show that the population perceives there to have been a re-vegetation process in recent decades, although they differ in their ideas about the characteristics of the process. The answers are heterogeneous regarding the causes, consequences and impacts involved in re-vegetation. The resident population is more realistic than the foreign population about the perception of changes in the natural environment. Moreover, the degree of accordance between these environmental changes and public perceptions of the same is discussed. © 2014, Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona. All right reserved.
