Forest Management to reduce deforestation and degradation in Shipibo Conibo and Cacataibo Indigenous communities of Ucayali region

The project is developed in 7 native communities belonging to the Shipibo Conibo and Cacataibo ethnicity. The purpose of the project is to protect against the deforestation and degradation advance. It’s goal is to reduce the pressure to change the land use in the project area with 4 components: proper use of communal land, capacity building for the management of natural resources, project finance and market linkages and finally strategic alliances. Actions taken are intended to prevent the advance of deforestation. The system control and monitoring of communities intends to be strengthened through the establishment and operation of a community monitoring, through a strategy of community participation. The project hopes to avoid an annual average net emissions of 564,818.5 tCO2- e according to the reference scenario projected for the first 10 years. Additional project benefits the conservation of biodiversity, beyond the benefits of reducing GHG emissions. The project has applied the standards of Climate, Community & Biodiversity Association.
