The goal is to generate a long2term appre"iation for the par4' itsbiodi!ersit# and the potential in"ome for its ste3ards) A path3a#tra!ersing the par4 from east to 3est is a 3a# to generate li!elihoodin"ome through limited tourism a"ti!ities' but also a 3a# to "ontinueprote"ting su"h bio2di!ersit# and ma4ing it a re"epta"le for future
