Globalisation in its neoliberal mould is presented as the only economic option to achieve development, but a more critical look shows that it is a fate that hides a socially exclusive system for an increasing majority of the world’s population and has negative consequences for the environment. In the wake of anti-globalisation manifestations, capitalism takes ownership of environmental flags, but only ‘greenish’ somewhat, without questioning the structural roots of environmental problems. However, the progress of new information technologies makes it possible to make the voices of those excluded, including traditional populations, heard. In the environmental debate, conservationism marks points with official recognition of the importance of integrating traditional populations into environmental protection policies by virtue of their traditional knowledge. Participation processes should take into account differences in the perception of nature by local populations and encourage their autonomy. In the Bay of Equal, Resex has a Deliberative Council, but this sphere is inadequate for planning and managing natural resources. To this end, it is proposed, by means of workshops in the area, to set up an association of users, which is a more appropriate instrument to enhance the power of users and to manage the cotidal life of Resex.
