Abstract
This research unveils the main good practices used by the Valdivian Coastal Reservation Park, which have led it to be one of the most interesting examples of conservation of Valdivian woodland ecosystems, promoted by private individuals in Chile. The outcomes of the investigation show a gradual change of social perception, on how to use the forest resources, that used to have the local communities adjacent to the park, who in the beginning (2003) had an extractive resources vision, stating today (2012) a more sustainable vision of how to use those resources, empirically demonstrating for the Chilean case, that a period no less of 10 years of support are needed for a community to achieve a collective internalization of the firsts concepts of good practices as a collective social benefit of economic, social and environmental implications.

This conference has become one of the leading forums for the exchange of information and experience of the Latin American Alliance of Networks Private Conservation Areas, entity that brings together 17 national associations as many Latin countries plus a regional association, was formed in 2004, and the central purpose of this network is to facilitate voluntary cooperation, coordination, analysis and exchange of knowledge, experiences and processes of nature conservation through developing private conservation initiatives in Latin America. The Alliance has five strategic lines from which concentrate its efforts. These are: Organizational strengthening, Communication, Financing, Positioning the issue of private conservation, and Coordination and Integration.
