You might have better luck finding an OSM mapper local to that area on
one of the OSM mailing lists
(
https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo).
Suggestions:
1) Outdoor-natural
(
https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/outdoor-natural)
or
2) The 'Talk-??' list most local to the geographical area where these
elements are mapped. I leave this selection to you to perform.
