Summary

Tunari National Park lacks strategies that integrate local community needs with nature protection. This has triggered native forest destruction, loss of ecosystem functions, and expansion of exotic tree plantations. We will implement a habitat restoration program in coordination with key stakeholders and engage local communities within Park boundaries to strengthen local development based on sustainable forestry use and protection of biodiversity/ecosystem functions. A massive communication strategy will be implemented to create suitable conditions for project replication in neighboring municipalities.
