The pressures on the Dureno Territory, now an isolated forest fragment, continue to increase. In 2005, the Cofan zoned their Territory, establishing a strict no- hunting zone—the 1,928-ha Reserva Mundae (Fig. 16)—as a breeding haven and source for game species for the whole Territory. Although the Cofan have established a system of patrols and communal park guards, they do not yet enjoy official recognition from the national government for their role as protectors of this diverse section of Ecuador.
