The main job activities I must to do are: to provide assistance and advice to regional directors and their workers focused on the protected areas management; to coordinate efforts with institutions related to conserve and protect biodiversity both private natural reserves and municipal protected areas in the whole country; to participate and give technical support in the management and planning of protected areas activities. Right now I’m leading the initiative of El Amay mountain, in which we work with institutional partners as the Italian NGO Movimondo, the Municipal Forests of the National Forest Institute project (BOSCOM-INAB as its Spanish meaning) and the NGO Rigoberta Menchú Tum Foundation, in the sense to promote the participation of local communities in the sustainable management of the Forest as a way to increase their incomes and abilities to protect the environment in this zone that has the second biggest cloud forest in Guatemala.
