📋 Tender Overview
50 native communities and small forest users signed an agreement to conserve their forests and implement sustainable business plans.August 2025.- Within the framework of the day of air quality, the forests of the Minam, highlights the work of 50 native communities and small forest users in the province of Atalaya (Ucayali), who retain more than 430 thousand hectares of Amazonian forests through conservation agreements and the implementation of sustainable business plans helping to regulate the climate and the reduction of atmospheric pollution.
Business plans are developed within the framework of the Forest Investment Program - FIP Peru that promotes that the communities themselves make key decisions about their territory, signing conservation agreements that allow them to access financing to implement their productive projects. The funds are transferred directly to the accounts of the communities and their use is subject to sustainability and conservation criteria.
Likewise, only in Atalaya business plans are executed with an investment exceeding S/ 16.5 million, mainly allocated to cocoa, banana, coffee and experiential tourism. These activities not only improve the quality of life of more than 1,500 people; but boost the conservation of their forests.
On the other hand, the Minam forests program promotes the degree and demarcation of native communities, the elaboration of communal life plans, the strengthening of spaces for participation and the strengthening of forest surveillance.
In Ucayali, 24 communities already have territorial demarcation and 30 have elaborated their life plans, which allows them to project their development from an integral vision of the territory. Likewise, the recognition of 49 surveillance committees by the Forestry Authority of Atalaya (SOFFSA) has been promoted, of which 26 of them have already been equipped with a surveillance kit (GPS, cell phone, backpack, first aid kit, among others).
At the national level, the FIP Peru promotes the implementation of 151 sustainable business plans, generating economic opportunities without deforesting the forest with the support of the World Bank (BM) and the Inter -American Development Bank (IDB) with the aim of promoting sustainable development in the Peruvian Amazon.
