4. Environmental conservation and restoration: This section presents efforts to preserve natural resources and manage the Miraflores—Picachos Regional Natural Park’s environment.

5. Armed conflict and peacebuilding: Reflects on the impact of violence and the strategies for resilience and reconciliation in the region.
