The Center’s collaborative work with the indigenous Comcaac communities this season focused on development, implementation, and support of ecological monitoring, field-based biocultural knowledge transmission, education, and community leadership projects. In addition, all of the Center’s programs integrated their work in the Comcaac territory toward updating the Ramsar site information. The Indigenous Community Partnership Program interfaced with external researchers, visiting groups, and networks to promote equitable collaborations with community groups in Comcaac territory.
