People in nearby cities chopped trees for firewood and housing. Park staff studied which coffee trees best handle pests, disease, drought, and heavy rain. Ranger Pedro Muagura brought new coffee trees to the park in 2020. They grow well in shade. People protect the land now. The coffee trees help over 800 farmers.
