Shaping and Empowering Local Alliances for the Conservation of the Sierra de Bahoruco National Park and the Loma Charco Azul Biological Reserve Through Training of Environmental Champions

Create a group of 16 promoters of biodiversity conservation to promote improved appreciation of ecosystem services and improved approaches to climate change adaptation, and provide tools and information for sustainable management of the Bahoruco National Park and Biological Reserve Loma Charco Azul in the Dominican Republic. These promoters will be selected from residents in communities in the Bahoruco National Park and Biological Reserve Loma Charco Azul. The promoters are expected to lead and assist with conservation solutions to environmental problems in the Bahoruco National Park and Biological Reserve Loma Charco Azul.
