The rural commons and their major ecosystemic contributions, forgotten by our urban societies, are too rarely mobilised to imagine the ecological transition. We are proposing "in situ" stimulation of the rural commons to meet the players involved in these ancestral sources of inspiration, to help them become better known, and to network them to strengthen their contributions to the ecological transition.
