Develop collaboration and build partnerships with all key stakeholders

The success of the overall programme to protect the Campo-Ma'an National Park and its buffer zone will very much depend on a sound collaboration between all key stakeholders in the region.

These include local communities and authorities, the territorial administration, logging and agro-industrial companies, transporters, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and funding agencies.

WWF is already working closely with local NGOs and farmer associations, and is now playing a lead role in coordinating contacts between all involved parties.

It has set up a series of meeting and workshops on key issues such as information, awareness, and planning.
