and) create and foster lines of research that incorporate indigenous peoples and communities kilomballs and locations in the planning and execution of studies, developing a collaborative and participatory practice aimed at the demands of the populations ;

f) to promote the dissemination of technical and scientific information, arising from the units of conservation and other protected areas and on them, in appropriate language for decision makers, managers and communities involved ;

g) develop and strengthen working partnerships with organizations and institutions of research, and studies that enable you to broaden the understanding of biological diversity in conservation units ;

h) stimulate, within the framework of cooperation for scientific research and related techniques to conservation units, studies to enhance knowledge on the distribution, situation and trends of biological and socio-cultural diversity ; and

i) define the scale and conceptual treatment over the division of coastal environments and marine, with the aim of optimizing the establishment of conservation units to effectively comply with their goals and functions.
