Comment/Explanation Next steps
3 Administration of the park is
doing an important effort
assigning a professional to be in
charge of a program of this type
that is fundamental for the
management of a protected area,
more if it has being considered
with international designations
as a World Heritage Site and
Reserve of Biosphere.
On the other hand, the
investigation that has been
carried out to date, usually
national and international
investigators of universities
carry out it to comply private
objectives, already these themes
will be of specific interest with
specific financing. Also, the
investigation in most cases
obeys the studies for thesis, as
requirements for graduation. In
general, the majority of these
investigations do not respond to
the needs of the administration
of the park (ANAM); in fact, this
affirmation comes from the
opinions of the personnel of the
park, since it does not exist in
the PA a list of the
investigations that have been
carried out since the creation of
this national park.
