📋 Tender Overview
The actions involve construction of firewall belts to protect forests and commercial forest plantations, as part of the forest incentive program.In the heart of the central jungle, the Ashaninka and Nomatsigenga peoples strengthen their abilities to prevent forest fires and thus protect their forests, new forest plantations and their indigenous territory, within the framework of an activity organized by the Ministry of Agrarian Development and Irrigation (Midagri), through the National Forest and Wild Fauna Service (Serfor) and its program (BPS).
The training day in the construction of the fire girdles was held in the native community under Quimiriki with the participation of 40 producers, within the framework of the International Day of Indigenous Peoples.
Native communities as executors of the Forest Business Plan of the Forest Incentives Program are fully committed to the protection of plantations they are installing, to ensure that the new areas prosper and benefit their families, said Daniel Rivera, executive coordinator of the Sustainable Productive Bosques program (BPS) of the Serfor.
In Junin, the communities of Cubantia, San Lorenzo de Autiki, Capachari, under Quimiriki and Shankivironi, promote the installation of 500 hectares of commercial forest plantations, thanks to a co -financing of S/ 3.7 million granted by the Serfor.
To date, it has been possible to disburse more than S/ 834 thousand, which has allowed to establish 135 hectares with species such as Colombian cedar and Pino Tecunumani. These species were chosen for their profitability, low maintenance cost and their contribution to soil recovery and water regulation.
We have lost part of the forest due to the expansion of fruit crops. Therefore, we train and execute our own plan and resources to protect what we have and ensure a better future for our families, said Diego Segura, subject to the native community under Quimiriki.
The native communities of the basins of Satipo and Pichanaqui have seen more than half of their forests disappear in recent decades, affecting plots less than 600 hectares due to the expansion of little sustainable crops and the fragmentation of their territories.
Today, with the BPS - Serfor forestry incentive program, they have the opportunity to reverse this story. Through forestry business plans that unite reforestation, sustainable use and strengthening of capacities, these communities are contributing to the mitigation of climate change, to the reduction of deforestation and the conservation of biodiversity for the next generations.
