The main objective is the generation of an instrument of administration which reflects uses and customs of the communities, as well as elements of the cultural and socioeconomic importance of natural resources. This information will permit the production of a Management Plan, in which the community of San Marcos will be the main actor in this process of conservation of the mamaco and its habitat.

One of the bases of this process is the generation of the monitoring program (e.g. the use of linear transects) together with the community of San Marcos. This information will be vital for the generation of a Management Plan for the sustainable use of natural resources. This monitoring program will also serve for the generation of sustainable hunting models, an appraisal of the potential for commercialization of timber and non-timber forest products as well providing data on phenological patterns, distribution ranges and abundance or density of the species of flora/fauna in the area. The monitoring program will also enable the identification of potential umbrella/keystone species.
