For my PhD I am working in SE Spain with a community-led initiative that emerged as the social response to wildfires in the region. Now, they call themselves a 'Plataforma en Defensa del Territorio' and I am struggling with translating this concept to English. There doesn't seem to be a literal translation, although I can't imagine that the English-speaking world does not have similar citizen initiatives.
Any translation suggestions are most welcome! Thanks
Dear Isabeau, maybe you do not even need to translate this organization? After all, it is a proper name. So you could simply explain what it is - for instance, a citizen initiative to protect the territory against wildfires - and then use "Plataforma" as a shorthand for the rest of the article? As long as the readers know what you are talking about, this would be perfectly fine.
