If someone is unproductive, then the researcher should be changed rather than the ; Specific problems - In order to produce a set of focused priorities, rather than the general set which emerged from the first workshop, CONAF should identify exactly what problems the park faces or will face in the future. - In response to this, Dennis Aldridge indicated that it is per- haps because the problems are not so clear at the moment that there is a need to get as much general information as possible in preparation for unforeseen problems. One such problem facing LSRNP which was identified dur- ing this session was the use of marine environments, particu- larly the route into Laguna San Rafael. A further potential problem facing the area is that of com- mercial activity, mainly tourism. Will any particular parts of the park be the focus of investment, and will any land be sold? In response to the first question. Dennis Aldridge com- mented that as yet there is little commercial activity of this type, but it is very likely in the coming few years. Regarding the second question, the possibility of park land being sold does not exist. From the discussions in this session,the delgates identified a number of additional criteria to be taken into account when proposing projects: • Logistical problems must be considered; • Work should be done in priority areas; • Continuity of projects will lead to monitoring; • Ecologica
