Macedonian Commons

The Macedonian Commons refers to the shared natural resources and collective land management practices historically present in the Macedonian region. It involves communal ownership and sustainable use of resources like pastures, forests, and water sources by local communities. This system fosters cooperation, preserves environmental health, and supports local livelihoods. Unlike private property, commons are managed collectively, allowing customary usage and conservation. The Macedonian Commons exemplify traditional communal resource stewardship, balancing individual needs with community sustainability across generations.
