Research and Conservation Projects FUNDECI/GAIA Many FUNDECI/GAIA projects are associated with the volcanic crater lakes of Nicaragua, including Laguna de Xiloá and Laguna de Apoyo. The volcanic crater lakes of Nicaragua were officially named protected areas in 1991. Map by Ad Konings. Through promotion of scientific research and conservation activities, FUNDECI/GAIA helps to strengthen the protection of the environment in Nicaragua. Each project can be found on the link below.
