Abstract:	In a global context marked by climate change, biodiversity loss, and increasing ecosystem fragmentation, Long-Distance Trails (LDTs) emerge as instruments capable of articulating nature conservation, landscape connectivity, and territorial development. These initiatives aim to organize and promote the public use of Protected and Conserved Areas (PCAs), integrating ecological, educational, and sociocultural objectives. This thesis aims to understand the structuring process of LDT systems in the Americas and their contributions to nature conservation, examining how their management, governance, and participation models are configured. The guiding research questions are: (i) how have LDT systems historically developed in the American continent, and which factors have shaped their institutional trajectories?; (ii) in what ways have these systems contributed to conservation, ecological connectivity, and integration between protected areas and local communities?; and (iii) which governance elements influence their long-term effectiveness and sustainability? Methodologically, the research adopts a qualitative, comparative, and multiscalar approach, grounded in Environmental History and document analysis, complemented by questionnaires and case studies in different countries across the Americas. The results demonstrate that LDT systems have evolved as cooperation platforms between the State and civil society, reinforcing conservation policies and ecological connectivity while promoting new forms of community engagement and territorial valorization. However, challenges persist related to institutionalization, funding, and the integration of participatory approaches into public policies. It is concluded that LDTs can serve as strategic instruments for conservation and governance at the landscape scale, contributing to international commitments linked to the agendas of conservation, restoration, climate action, and sustainability.
