Comment/Explanation Next steps
Although, the indicator on
the decrease of the threats is
maintained stable, the need
of the resources has
improved and in the
measure to endow the Park
of the facilities for the
necessary management
(Budget and personal), the
condition of these resources
have improved notably.
Although, inside the
protected area there are no
communities exist, studies
should be carried out to
determine if the existence of
the park has improved the
quality of life of the
surrounding populations.
In every case the existence of
the native community of San
Antonio has been fortified,
since the incomes that they
perceive of the tourism are
owed in part to the presence
of the protected area.
