The land purchased will be added to Los Magnolios Natural Reserve, and included in the management plan.
Salvamontes has a strategic plan 2020-2025 and long term goals (2030), that include projects that will secure the sustainability of the organization over time and the management, improvement and protection of the habitat and care of the endangered species that inhabit it.
The strategic actions include the development of nature tourism activities in Los Magnolios, the implementation of conservancy initiatives for the species that need it the most; the founding of an investigation center within the nature reserve, and the involvement of the local communities in the conservancy activities.
In the long term plan, Los Magnolios will be part of a biological corridor that will allow the recovering and connectivity of the habitats of those species in most danger in El Alto de Ventanas. This all will happen as a result of the conservancy efforts of Salvamontes along with local communities.
