Introduce the conservation and sustainable management of the Kosñipata Carabaya Key Biodiversity Area (KBA) into four municipalities (Kosñipata, Paucartambo, Camanti and Madre de Dios) and two natural protected areas and their management plans. Four municipal agreements have been signed for the implementation of the mitigation measures against deforestation. Information about the Kosñipata-Carabaya KBA will be enhanced for better decision making in favor of conservation. The project aims to have 200 local community members acknowledge the ecological value of the Kosñipata-Carabaya KBA and promote its conservation.
