Clear territorial policies for conservation
These are tools that are implemented over the long term and promote action planning and in situ conservation, based on the principle of institutional mandate that provides decision-making autonomy to PA managers. Although this is not a completed process, strengthening the legal framework should be one of the measures to achieve PA integration into the region's development.
- The planning tools implemented are mandatory and establish a framework for action that allows for their application, including adaptation when gaps are found.
- The regions and communities recognize the fundamental role of the reserve because of its natural and cultural characteristics and respect its objectives and scope.
Clear policies, with defined legal frameworks, make it possible to achieve interinstitutional coordination and to plan actions at different time scales. investment in compliance and monitoring of the regulations is fundamental from a conservation perspective.
