Internal organization
ASSEMBLY
This is Red's sovereign space, where cross-cutting and most important matters are discussed and resolved. Here, the collective work objectives are set and the commissions that will coordinate efforts are defined.
Assemblies are convened periodically and whenever Red considers the circumstances warrant it.
COMMISSIONS
Red's general objectives are grouped around 4 areas of work:
1. ADVOCACY: This commission is responsible for developing the technical and legal arguments to achieve the expropriation of Bosque Panul, as well as managing institutional relations to halt real estate projects or actions that could harm the forest.
2. EDUCATION: This commission is responsible for educating ourselves to care for our environment and to learn to relate to our surroundings in a more respectful and healthy way. This commission oversees the development of future Park Rangers and Guides for Bosque Panul. It is also responsible for an environmental education project for kindergartens, schools, and universities.
3. BIOTERRITORIO: This commission is responsible for developing the academic arguments needed to understand the territory and the biodiversity it holds. This commission welcomes students and professionals who wish to conduct academic research on the forest and its relationship with the environment and society. These inputs are necessary for the creation and implementation of a park together with the community.
4. COMMUNICATIONS: This commission is responsible for conveying what we think, what we do, what we learn, and what we want. This commission seeks to bring information and knowledge to the community through different channels.
These areas are organized around Autonomous Commissions, which define the objectives and work priorities within each area — taking into account Red's general objectives and available resources. Commissions function through open, public, and regular Meetings.
There is one coordinator per Commission, responsible for ensuring that the Meeting takes place on the set day and at the agreed location, and that it is published through Red's media channels. The coordinator is also responsible for ensuring that minutes are taken at each Meeting and shared with the rest of Red.
To achieve the stated objectives, the Autonomous Commissions organize working groups.
WORKING GROUPS
These are groups of people mandated by one or more Commissions, organized to carry out a specific task.
Working groups are freely created by Commissions in their Meetings and can serve as spaces of convergence for multiple Commissions.
Each group will have a Coordinator, who ensures that group meetings take place and is responsible for presenting minutes or reports to the Commissions on the assigned work.
FOREST ASSEMBLY
This is a horizontal, community-based space in which all community knowledge is gathered with the aim of planning the Community Park. This assembly is autonomous but directly connected to the work of the commissions. The Forest Assembly is responsible for the implementation of the Park, the construction of its infrastructure, and its ongoing care.
PARTICIPATION
Each Red member is free to participate in assemblies, commissions, and working groups — in accordance with their capacities and available time.
Work within Red and its various organizational spaces is based on cooperation, not on obligations or demands.
The organizational structure is dynamic and flexible — designed to organize the work, not to divide power.
