El Boquerón: how we built the management plan of a natural monument
Weeks of fieldwork among canyons and cloud forest to zone El Boquerón Natural Monument together with its neighboring communities.
El Boquerón Natural Monument protects a limestone canyon and the watershed that supplies water to several communities in Olancho. Its management plan defines what can be done in each zone of the protected area.
Fieldwork
The team camped inside the area to walk the trails, survey vegetation plots and georeference water sources and risk zones.
Zoning with the communities
Workshops with community boards and water committees made it possible to agree on use, restoration and strict protection zones that people recognize and respect.
