Our focus is based in three principles: save, know, and use.” Engineer Oscar Rada, Pro Naturaleza (Fundación Peruana de la Conservación de la Naturaleza) (Chirif 1997:2,3).

  12. Key Indicators • Positives • Basic Conservation Vocabulary found in even isolated communities. • Increased Demand by Residents for Park Guard Presence. • Increase Community Demand for Conservation Training. • Communities with diversified income sources are more resilient to economic downturns in specific markets.
