General objective
Contribute to the sustainable conservation and protection of the Complex of Protected Natural Areas (ANPs) of Güeppí by strengthening the Airo Pai Communal Reserve, to include an additional 194,000 hectares that are located on the right bank of the Napo River.
Lines of action:

The proposed expansion of the Airo Pai Communal Reserve is a request made by the five native communities that make up the ECA Sieko Pai, in order to protect and manage the space that is currently free and is adjacent to the RC Airo Pai. One of the main threats is deforestation due to illegal logging.

3. The communities within the scope of the project have Life Plans for the management of their territory.
4. Create the Administration Contract Executor (ECA) for the Airo Pai and Huimeki communal reserves.
5. Communal Reserves Airo Pai and Huimeki each have an approved and implemented Master Plan.
6. The control and surveillance actions of the ANP Güeppí complex have been strengthened.
7. At least six natural resource management plans prepared in the same number of communities within the scope of the project.
8. Achieve the expansion of the Airo Pai Communal Reserve.
