  1. Hi Danielle,

    I love this poster, very informative. I was wondering what the main conflicts are that you observed in the interviews. Are there any recurring themes?

    1. Hi Jacob!
      It’s great to hear from you. Thank you for your kind words.
      The interviews captured a multitude of perspectives on concerns within the region both directly and indirectly related to the national park itself. As the poster highlights, there is conflict between the condor reintroduction project and local cattle grazers. Other themes that were most frequently cited in the interviews were water availability, park management, regional/proximate agriculture, historic land tenure, and local biodiversity. These themes intersected in interesting ways and revealed a multitude of ways land and natural resources were being controlled.
