In this case, the master plan is a very important management instrument that sets out the conservation objectives, the actions to be taken and the timeframe for their execution.
The challenge for the Matsés National Reserve (RNM) was to generate an inclusive management instrument for the conservation and use requirements of a culturally diverse population (indigenous and non-indigenous), with conflicting and geographically dispersed groups.
To this end, different methodologies were devised, such as intercultural workshops with the participation of indigenous interpreters, the generation of friendly contents where the practical and traditional knowledge of the local population is recognized and evidenced (conservation status of landscapes and species, harvesting calendars), internships and other resources that contributed to the success of the master plan, facilitating dialogue and agreements between the population, the Natural Protected Areas (NPA) team and other key stakeholders.
