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.
Darwin Initiative Round 32 is now open for applications! A new round of funding to support ambitious projects delivering impact for biodiversity and communities.
From scaling successful approaches to strengthening locally led conservation, explore key lessons shared by projects working on the front line of biodiversity action.
