As part of my doctoral thesis, I have been doing research on factors that influence park management and conservation success in Mexico. I am interested in knowing what factors have influence in other countries to be able to compare to the situation of protected areas in general. I ask for your help answering these four questions. Your participation will be greatly appreciated.

Please, in each box include up to 10 factors and indicate which are the 3 with more influence.
 
Which are the main factors that facilitate conservation and management?
 
Which are the main factors that obstruct conservation and management?
 
Are some of the factors working in both ways? If so, which ones?
 
What factors or changes do you think would be needed to achieve effective conservation and management?
 
Thank you very much for your participation in this research!
