The key objective of the project is to develop and implement a participatory, inter-institutional management model for Canaima National Park that will promote biodiversity conservation, provide both global and local environmental services, and ensure the full involvement of indigenous people and local communities. The model would also be replicated in the other protected areas in Venezuela.
