📋 Tender Overview
The strategic role of protected natural areas was highlighted as a pillar for conservation, the provision of ecosystem services and the reduction of emissions in Peru.Within the framework of the COP30 in Brazil, which keeps the eyes of the world on the Amazon, the National Service of Natural Areas Protected by the State (Sernanp) marked the official position of Peru. The organization attached to the Ministry of the Environment maintained that the fight against deforestation and climate change is only effective if it is managed from the territory and with the active participation of its residents.
During his intervention at the Forests for Climate forum, Sernanp emphasized that Perus future Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC 3.0) will only achieve the required global ambition if it is based on articulated governance.
Deyvis Huaman Mendoza, director of Territorial Management of Protected Natural Areas of Sernanp, explained to the international audience that the key lies in decentralizing the action. Sustainable forest management is only possible when it is built from the territories, with the communities and the different levels of government. There is a very strong tendency towards working together with regional and local governments, said Huaman.
Sernanps analysis focused on three pillars that seek to align Peruvian conservation policies with international standards: First, science, to ensure that mitigation goals (in the LULUCF sector) incorporate technical and ecological evidence to guide investments. Second, financial transparency, establishing reporting systems that generate the trust necessary to attract climate capital. And finally, multi-stakeholder governance that formally recognizes that climate action flows from the grassroots, protected natural areas and their communities, to the State.
This vision underscores the need for a conservation strategy where environmental protection is integrated as a national security and climate policy.
In this way, Sernanp emphasized the role of protected natural areas as key territories for conservation, the provision of ecosystem services and the reduction of emissions.
