The initiative aims to increase protection of the park's natural resources by improving land management.
This includes reforesting degraded areas, building infrastructure to reduce erosion from flooding, and enforcing the protection of the park's diverse plant and animal life.
[6] The park features endangered plant and animal life, including some endemic to the island of Hispaniola.
The distribution of the pine and cloud forests depends on soils, rainfall, exposure, and disturbance by fire and hurricanes.
Frequent fires favor pine germination and kill the young broadleaf trees.
