Transparency at all levels is vital. The images were scrutinised together, the points allocated together, and the village decided between themselves on their priorities. They chose their desired benefits, and the notice was displayed publicly in the village centre. The benefits bought and distributed were also listed publicly.

preservation of ecosystem health

Service providers committed to training and new ways of carrying out tourism activities.

Flexible environmental authorities to commit to make changes in the norms and regulations that allow new governance schemes.

Tourism and surveillance authorities, proposing new norms and better sustainable practices.

All stakeholders at the table, seeking shared governance for the conservation and improvement of direct and indirect employment and PA conservation.

Construction of best practices and regulations for a better use of the PA.

Conservation of the sea lion colony through collective awareness.

- Ecosystem conservation depends on local enthusiasm and identification of the importance of biodiversity and strategic ecosystems.

- Management plans and conservation proposals must be included in land use plans.

- Protected area management should be approached from a regional perspective so that each municipality takes the model and implements it in its own municipality with a logic of connectivity and ecosystem globality.

- The participation of research institutions in the biodiversity identification process and in the formulation of protected area projects is of great importance; it avoids doubts about the importance and certainty of the proposals.

- Community participation motivated by the evidence of biodiversity and the functionality of ecosystems is of great importance to keep alive the enthusiasm for its dissemination and knowledge.

Importance of knowledge of the biodiversity of species to value local ecosystems and make it known by different means to promote the interest and ownership of institutions and the community in conservation.

Local conservation is successful when it is based on internal initiatives that integrate institutions and the community and is supported by knowledge, participation and norms that motivate or encourage the protection of ecosystems.

Land use planning and ecosystem conservation strategies should be closely related in order to define congruent conservation projects and decisions that are supported by national norms.

The fact that protected areas are environmental determinants of land use planning is the clearest possibility that exists to avoid the alteration, degradation, or disappearance of strategic ecosystems in the urban context, favoring the collective right to a healthy environment, as these cannot be ignored by municipal administrations or by the political will of the moment.

However, it is not enough to incorporate them into the planning tools to position the designation, regulation and administration in order to achieve specific conservation objectives in public policies and to ensure that there is an effective commitment to them. Interinstitutional coordination and articulation are necessary to achieve effective management of protected areas in a scenario particularly dense in conflicts and interests such as the urban landscape.

• Recognition of the actions, knowledge and initiatives of citizens regarding the conservation and protection of these strategic spaces for the maintenance of biodiversity and the preservation of ecosystem services.
• Co-management promotes inter-institutional dialogue and the exchange of knowledge to develop a joint construction of the protected areas, which allows for the strengthening of trust among the stakeholders, reaching levels of good governance.
• The contribution of private enterprise contributes to the sustainability of urban protected areas, while at the same time it is potentially functional to the private sector's environmental responsibility actions.

• The environmental education strategies and the dynamization through activities such as interpretive tours, yoga, weaving, bird watching, etc., allow for better learning, understanding and appropriation of the protected areas to the extent that another type of relationship is built between humans and nature and the search for a biocentric vision of life where interdependencies are recognized.
• Other educational-environmental tools are strengthened and provided, as well as other conservation actions that were being developed by citizens and other stakeholders prior to the declaration.
• The incorporation in the citizenship and the government of some concepts based on the dialogue of knowledge helps the conservation of ecosystems and biodiversity.
• Participatory action as a fundamental axis for the successful management of protected areas.
• Other actors and sectors are involved in the conservation strategy of protected areas, including universities and companies, which make contributions based on their specific interests and capacities.

For yerba mate production to be successful, it must be combined with other crops that currently contribute to the livelihoods of local people in a diversified organic farm model.

The producers are in the process of forming an Association after 5 years of starting the initiative. Accompaniment and training should be planned over a period of several years to empower and organize rural and indigenous producers to govern the value chain.

Lots of interest from the community to get involved with more than 300 applications.

Resilience from the local population by finding new areas of employment (STEM) as citizen-scientists, lab technicians, field biologists. This shows an interest from the public to learn the need for diversifying job opportunities and technical tools to be developed (demystifying science and accessibility).

Excitement by the use of cutting-edge equipment, hands-on experiences enhanced by involvement in most modern sequencing techniques available.

Challenges in translating scientific terms to non-scientists, and bridging the gap between scientific knowledge and applicability by locals.

Lots of good testimonies suggest we recognized a gender issue (employment).
