📋 Tender Overview
Peru highlights articulated work with RAFO, RAMIF and RADA, and consolidates community forest management as the basis of effective climate action.Peru, through the National Forestry and Wildlife Service (SERFOR) of the Ministry of Agrarian Development and Irrigation (MIDAGRI), presented the 2025-2027 Work Plan at COP30, which contains as axes the strengthening of regional cooperation, the exchange of experiences and the implementation of policies and actions for sustainable management.
Our country is the leader of the Amazon Network of Forest Authorities (RAFO), which is made up of the member countries of the Amazon Cooperation Treaty Organization (ACTO): Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Guyana, Peru, Suriname and Venezuela.
Within the framework of this work plan, Peru announced that with the support of ACTO, the development of a functional coordination protocol is being coordinated with the Amazon Network for Comprehensive Fire Management (RAMIF) and the Amazon Network of Water Authorities (RADA), to consolidate a more solid regional response to deforestation, forest fires and water stress. Also a regional meeting to exchange good practices in the management of the Amazon ecosystem, which allows us to improve strategies to confront climate change.
Important advances
Likewise, important progress was reported in the implementation of sustained forest management through the strengthening of forest governance, the implementation of a monitoring and early warning system, monitoring and monitoring of enabling titles, implementation of the National Strategy for the Restoration of Ecosystems and Degraded Lands (PROREST) 2021-2030, the promotion of forest plantations, the promotion of community forest management, the promotion of agroforestry systems and the fight against illegal activities.
Erasmo Otarola, Pro Tempore president of RAFO and executive director of SERFOR, said that we are presenting concrete progress against climate change and strengthening Amazon governance to consolidate our regional priorities. This will allow us to have greater strength in environmental negotiations and access mechanisms such as the Tropical Forest Forever Facility (TFFF) promoted by Brazil, which recognize and reward the conservation of standing forests, he said.
In this way, SERFOR also presented technical recommendations for the participation of the authorities that make up the RAFO in the TFFF, prioritizing the exchange of experiences at the regional level, with inclusive governance and coherent with national forest monitoring systems.
It should be noted that the TFFF is a long-term public-private investment mechanism aimed at conserving and expanding tropical forests through annual payments to countries that keep their forests standing and allocates at least 20% of its resources to indigenous and local communities, in recognition of their role in the conservation and sustainable management of forest ecosystems.
With this, Peru reaffirms its commitment to climate action, the protection of forests and the construction of a unified Amazon position in the face of global challenges.
