📋 Tender Overview
With the implementation of advanced air technology in its regional headquarters, the institution seeks to accelerate ecological recovery and strengthen sustainable agroforestry.The Peruvian Amazon Research Institute (IIAP), an entity attached to the Ministry of Environment, with the objective of restoring areas degraded by forest fires and other forms of degradation in the Amazon began the acquisition of four latest generation agricultural drones.
The initiative contemplates a drone to the headquarters of the IIAP San Martin, Ucayali, Madre de Dios and Loreto. Each equipment is designed for the aerial dispersion of restorative spheres, a technique that allows the planting of local seeds to be accelerated in the affected ecosystems. Thanks to their load capacity of up to 50 kilos and their solid dispersion system, drones will be able to cover large land extensions in a short time, providing a quick response after forest accidents.
Each kit has a cost of S/ 177 700 and includes five batteries, an electric generator for continuous field operations, and specialized accessories that make it an ideal tool for environmental restoration work.
In addition to their use in ecological restoration, these drones will be used in scientific experiments and in support of rural communities, thus promoting sustainable agroforestry and food security in vulnerable areas.
The technical staff and researchers from each headquarters already receive specialized training to operate the equipment, under the instruction of an expert in state -of -the -art drones.
With this measure, the IIAP reinforces its commitment to the recovery of ecosystems affected by the growing impacts of forest fires.
In 2024, more than 4,000 forest fires affected approximately 70,000 hectares of forests in Peru, being the most affected departments Ucayali, Madre de Dios, San Martin and Amazonas, according to information from the National Forest and Wildlife Service and Mapbiomas Peru.
