A local online newspaper in Los Pedroches, Hoyaldia.com, has published an article introducing the MONALISA citizen survey and the project’s broader work on desertification and land degradation in the region.

The piece explains that the Grupo de Desarrollo Rural (GDR) de Los Pedroches (ADROCHES) is channeling a survey developed in the framework of MONALISA to collect local views on soil degradation and desertification across the comarca. The article also situates this activity within MONALISA’s wider set of case studies across multiple countries (including Italy, Greece, Tunisia, Palestine, and Spain), emphasizing the value of community knowledge and lived experience.

This type of regional media coverage is an important step in reaching local stakeholders, young farmers, and the wider community, encouraging participation and strengthening the evidence base that will inform Living Lab discussions and locally relevant mitigation pathways.
