Contracts for the Administration of Protected Natural Areas with Indigenous Populations
The Contracts for the Administration of Protected Natural Areas with Indigenous Populations are instruments through which management, administration and evaluation bodies of the protected natural areas are categorized as "Communal Reserves", in which neighboring communities (indigenous communities) take an active and decisive role. They coordinate their functions with the State, which conducts evaluations every five years on the results of the administration; but the direct managers are the representatives of the communities chosen according to their own principles and forms of organization.
