It should be noted that the Airo Pai Communal Reserve is a protected natural area co-managed by the State and has a Master Plan, also developed in a participatory manner. CEDIA has been supporting these initiatives through the project “Expansion of the Airo Pai Communal Reserve for the protection and sustainable conservation of the Complex of ANPs of Güeppí - Peru”, financed by the Rainforest Trust.
