Desde 2012, Grupo Puntacana a través de su Fundación Ecológica Puntacana viene desarrollando exitosamente un programa de control de población de Pez León, que ha consistido en comprar a los pescadores locales, y de diversas partes del país, Pez León para elaborar una variedad de platos en los restaurantes del resort.
Como parte de los esfuerzos para erradicar esta especie altamente invasora, la Fundación Ecológica Puntacana , organizó durante 8 días un curso de taxidermia de Pez León en sus instalaciones, impartido por el profesor cubano, Marco Antonio Olcha, experto en taxidermia marina del Instituto de Ecológica y Sistemática (IES) de la Habana Cuba, quien entrenó a 3 familias de pescadores de Juanillo ,1 empleado de la Fundación Ecológica y 2 artesanos de Bayahibe en el arte de la taxidermia especifica del Pez León.
La nueva destreza aprendida empodera a estas personas a crear su propia micro empresa convirtiéndolas en generadoras de ingresos para sus familias, creando a su vez un nuevo canal para el control de las poblaciones de peces Leon de la región.
Este Primer taller de taxidermia del Pez León contó con el apoyo de la Fundación Corazón a Corazón, Fundación Ademi, Rufford Foundation y la Fundación Ecológica Puntacana.
