Lack of recent, scientific data
Lack of personnel to support operations, data collection, etc.
Interaction of wildlife and human is a concerning conflict (wildlife threatens farms, farmers may kill or poach wildlife)
Flora is also endangered

Ensure education of stakeholders and park users]]> 2022-06-30 15:04:58 UTC https://padlet.com/apalacheestrong/bluegroup/wish/2234390320 https://padlet.com/apalacheestrong/bluegroup/wish/2234398161 Local businesses want to sustain tourism

2) Local villagers need to be able to support their families -- farming is insufficient, poaching and logging are currently important strategies

4) Poor data exists to inform investment, management, and training -- need resources (time, human, financial) to collect data
5) Education is limited--there are no schools to create opportunities for children

7) Lack of educated personnel for all aspects of park management
