Despite the region’s remoteness and small human population, many of its biological and cultural riches are under pressure from over fishing, unregulated tourism, colonization, logging, and clearing of land for subsistence farms, commercial plantations and cattle ranching.  Parks in Peril (PiP) is working to promote more sustainable income generating activities.
