National Commission of the Bosawás Biosphere Reserve
The National Commission of the Bosawás Biosphere Reserve was created in order to include different members and sectors of the Central Government and indigenous communities in the implementation of public policies that concern the management and protection of the Reserve. In addition, the commission is also responsible for evaluating the programs carried out in the region, and for providing consulting services to the Technical Secretariat of Bosawás. Its activities are carried out within the framework of the General Law on the Environment and Natural Resources, and the participatory processes are often coordinated with Honduran organized civil society, as it is located next to Río Plátano Biosphere Reserve.
