The park is an iniative of the Ministry of Ecology, Renewable Natural Resources & Tourism, and depends on them for funding.
El Puma has three main objectives:
- the protection, conservation and restoration of Misiones flora & fauna, especially those species that are in danger of extinction
- the care and recuperation of sick or injured animals that have been captured by forest rangers, with later release back to their natural habitat
- to raise public awareness of the region's environmental issues and serve as an educational centre for those interested in studying the Misiones fauna
