Increase the Cerro Plateado Reserve by 4,000 hectares and work to have the ancestral use by the Shuar Nayump Center legally recognized in the Nayump-Ciudad Perdida sector of the Alto Nangaritza Key Biodiversity Area. Furthermore, Amuicha Entsa Parroquial protected area will be legally recognized with 8,000 hectares in the Cóndor-Kutuku-Palanda Corridor. Fifteen communal leaders will exchange their experiences through a local network and will adopt collective agreements about territorial management within the Nangaritza watershed.
