Conduct participatory planning processes for biodiversity conservation and territorial
management in the Cotapata Key Biodiversity Area (KBA) based on the identification of
ecosystem functions in six communities through communal agreements involving at least 60 families. Establish a pilot communal conservation area of approximately 15,000
hectares in the Guanay municipality. This experience will be shared with municipalities involved in four priority KBAs.
1 Improve protection and management of 36 priority KBAs to create and maintain local support for conservation and to mitigate key threats.
