the Jane Goodall Institute Community for Social Change

http://www.sierraclub.org/corridor/ After a six year struggle against two mega hotel industries the Northeastern Ecological Corridor (N.E.C) of Puerto Rico was declared a reserve. Four watersheds form the structure of the reserve where two ecosystems will be restored. Interviews, Digital Storytelling and focal groups in adjacent communities will be done to assess Local Ecological Knowledge. Involving local community action in the management of the NEC secures its protection if under peril again, therefore safeguarding and promoting the conservation of threatened native and endemic species along with the water supply of its adjacent communities.
