Abstract

The Venezuela national government is looking to develop a co-management model in the Canaima National Park (CNP) supporting sustainable natural resource use practices and preserving cultural and biological diversity. The CNP is located in the state of Bolivar, and is the second largest park in Venezuela with a size of 30,000 km². One of the major sources for the financing of the PES payments will be from the hydroelectric producer CVG-Edelca.
