The project is going to work very closely with the local communities, the 4 communities that live just outside the park in Bolivia. The project will work with them in establishing different types of alternatives for development. Instead of going and slashing and burning the rainforest, we will work with then to do alternatives such as honey, growing orchids, ecotourism, guiding and providing food and other transportation services for people to come here.
