Tabuleiro State Park: Conservation of Biodiversity and Ecosystem Rehabilitation

The goal of the Project is to contribute to the conservation of the globally significant biodiversity of the Atlantic Forest biome. To contribute to this goal, the specific objective of the Project is to strengthen the conservation and management of the Tabuleiro State Park through the: (i) implementation of emergency actions designed to increase vigilance and control capabilities, and especially control of invasive exotic plant species that threaten the Park's ecological integrity; (ii) development and initial implementation of a Park Management Plan (PMP) in close collaboration and with strong participation of local stakeholders to more sustainably manage the Park’s natural resources; (iii) building of a community-based conservation constituency; and (iv) increased local capacity to implement and monitor conservation activities and disseminate project results, experiences and lessons learned at the local, national and international levels.
