[Continued from the October 2009 newsletter from ACT]ACT and the Amapá Park Guard Association, together with Brazil's environmental enforcement agency ICMBio and the Federal University of Amapá, have published a park guard training methodology manual. The manual enables ACT to disseminate its pioneering methodology to other indigenous and non-indigenous groups seeking to gain the means to better monitor and conserve protected areas.
To complement the publication, the partners will launch a park guard program website that will contain information regarding the current legal status of park guards in Brazil; information on park guards around the world; a description of the role and objectives of park guards; and information on the availability of training courses in Brazil and in Latin America. The website and manual will be used by ICMBio and the state of Amapá to further the process of official recognition and legalization of the role of park guard.
