Preparation of a Management Plan for the Mache-Chindul Ecological Reserve

Prepare a management plan for Mache-Chindul Ecological Reserve, which protects 119,172 hectares of rain forest in the southern fringe of the Chocó-Manabi Corridor but has come under threat through agricultural encroachment and illegal colonization. Development of the plan will involve establishment of a process of open dialogue, consultation and active participation of local and national stakeholders to come to agreement on key goals for the park over the next 10 years, as well as immediate actions to mitigate key threats.
