		Thanks to the fine efforts of the Nicaraguan non-governmental organization (NGO) Fundación Cocibolca, Volcán Mombacho (NicaNews 14), which since 1983 had been a protected area on paper only, is now being managed on the ground as a natural reserve.
		Holding true to Cocibolca’s belief that local people must be involved in the protection of Nicaragua’s natural resources, members of Mombacho’s local communities themselves helped construct the trails (marked by discarded coffee stakes and other recycled and secondhand materials) and will be involved in trail maintenance and other reserve improvements in the future.

		MOMBACHO VOLCANO, NICARAGUA—After two hours of hiking through the cloud forests of Nicaragua's Mombacho Volcano, my companions and I have seen no sign of the pumas and howler monkeys that are said to lurk here.
		Eric has been studying wildlife in Nicaragua for seven years, and—like many other naturalists I've met—he is soft-spoken and passionate about his work, with a tendency to giggle absently whenever I ask him a stupid question.
		And, despite the fact that Mombacho Volcano hasn't produced any marquee fauna for us today, this Nicaraguan nature reserve is very much an extension of the Costa Rican success story.

		As of December 2003, I have sub-sections of Momotombo-Momotombito, Mombacho, Concepción-Maderas, Masaya and the always dangerous Cerro Negro Volcano.
		Most of them are very easy to climb due to good condition access roads, like Masaya and Mombacho, while others are very tough due to their altitute, like Momotombo, Concepción, Maderas and San Cristóbal.
