In 2001, the Chilean Government created Consultative Councils as part of their national park management strategy.Consultative Councils were designed with three objectives: 1) to generate opportunities for citizen participation with regards to the management, conservation and development of national parks and the surrounding communities; 2) to improve the abilities and opportunities for adjacent communities to protect their ways of living and be acknowledged and valued by society; and 3) to strengthen areas of development in communities and help promote strategic alliances between communities and private and public institutions.We set out to examine whether the Fray Jorge National Park -Consultative Council (FJNP-CC) has achieved these three objectives.Our findings indicated that the FJNP-CC has failed to facilitate community participation in park management (Objective 1) and has done little to improve the abilities and opportunities for adjacent communities to protect their ways of living (Objective 2).However, the FJNP-CC has proven effective at facilitating community access to private and public institutions (Objective 3).Despite achieving only one of its three objectives, the FJNP-CC is still considered by community members and park managers as the best opportunity to manage, if not reconcile, competing interests in the park
