We are optimizing the states resources to reach indigenous communities and accompany them in their compensation process, so they do not miss the opportunity to settle their fines without disburseing money, said Jesus Alberto Flores Aquino, coordinator of the Osinfor Decentralized Office in Iquitos. He said that these actions are part of a work policy implemented after listening to the native communities that assumed the commitment to conserve their forests.
Compensate keeping
The importance of the fines compensation mechanism, in the modality of conservation of forest heritage and wildlife, is that they offer indigenous communities an alternative to settle sanctions, through activities that promote conservation of natural resources, instead of only monetary payments. This allows regularizing your situation in legal activities, accessing state benefits and promoting practices responsible with the environment.
Until July 2025, in the jurisdiction of the odes, four native communities have successfully compensated more than 700,000 soles, through their commitment to protect forests. They understood that these actions not only contribute to sustainability, but also to their own development.
