Manu National Park benefits from its privileged location and size, as well as almost half a century of uninterrupted commitment by dedicated governmental staff, non-governmental organizations and Peruvian and international researchers. Many observers plausibly argue that the hostile and in some cases deadly indigenous responses to intrusions have likewise discouraged illegal access in remote areas and thus contributed to maintaining an exceptional state of conservation. The acute and direct threats to the property continue to be modest by the standards of most protected areas. Likewise, the management effort and effectiveness in the national park is by no means alarming. At the same time, the land and resource use dynamics have dramatically changed since the creation of the national park and the more recent World Heritage inscription. A quickly advancing development frontier has changed large tracts of a previously remote landscape. Major road infrastructure has been facilitating access and legal and illegal natural resource extraction. This development represents significant threats to the property in the medium and long terms, the effects of which are starting to become visible and are likely to be aggravated by anticipated climate change. There is an ever more urgent need to balance the inevitable trade-offs between economic development and social, cultural and environmental objectives. The numerous protected areas which are still functionally connected across vast territories and across boundaries with neighboring countries need to be better understood and maintained. This may well constitute one of the only available instruments to increase resilience and to reduce vulnerability to anticipated climate change in the long term. It is also the only chance for the cultural survival of some of the last completely self-sufficient forest-dwelling peoples in the world. It is for these imminent threats and the absence of an adequate response and preparedness that the outlook is overshadowed by significant concerns, only seemingly in contradiction to the still exceptionally high integrity.
