The Coordinator shall provide the entities and persons that participate in the Program with a certificate of acknowledgement and a photograph of the hectares that have been adopted, once the acquisition process of the natural high value areas has been concluded. Said certificate may be used by profit making or nonprofit entities in their publicity campaigns. They may likewise be able to install a sign with the name of the donor in the property acquired through the donation of the entity. This incentive shall be limited to those donations that exceed an amount to be fixed through regulations. The hectares adopted may be visited by the participants, in coordination with the officials who manage the natural areas included in the Program. Furthermore, the Department may devise activities to foster the participation of the citizens and environmental organizations.
The donations do not have to be used exclusively in cash and the Department shall establish through regulations which properties may be donated. Regulations shall also be drafted to establish the ways and means in which the Department may accept onerous donations without it being inferred under any circumstances that the Department shall enter into a bilateral contractual relationship with the donor by which the agency is bound to provide any compensation in exchange for the donation, except as provided in this chapter.
