Abstract

The signing of agreements is important in order to strengthen the conservation management of natural areas such as wetlands. In this article, the current status of the cooperation agreements signed by PROHVILLA (responsible for the management of Los Pantanos de Villa wetland) between 2019 and 2020 is analyzed. To this end, the agreements contained in its records were reviewed and those in charge of PROHVILLA were interviewed. The records contained 22 agreements dating from the study period, the majority of which (59%) were signed with natural persons, were of a promotional nature (68%), remain active (77%), and have contributed benefits for the management of the area (73%). Based on these findings, it is suggested that work groups, monitoring plans and the standardization of proposals be established, in order to ensure greater effectiveness in the implementation and monitoring of agreements.
