📋 Tender Overview
OSINFOR verified that more than 39,000 timber trees were harvested responsibly and legally.Mother of God. - Given the permanent threat of illegal activities to the forests in Madre de Dios, the Forestry and Wildlife Resources Supervision Agency (OSINFOR) prioritized forestry supervision in this department, concentrating 50% of the inspection actions at the national level during 2025, which allowed covering 406,277 hectares of forest with enabling titles.
These results were achieved through 355 supervision actions carried out in different types of enabling titles that allow access to the forest for the sustainable use of forest resources. Of the total, 285 supervisions were carried out in non-timber chestnut forest concessions, where the State allows the use of chestnut fruit and wood from other species.
Likewise, OSINFOR inspected 37 forestry permits on private properties, a modality that allows owners to legally take advantage of the forest resources on their properties. Added to this are 13 supervisions of timber forest concessions, 10 to non-timber forest concessions of syringa and aguaje, as well as eight to concessions for conservation and two to concessions for ecotourism, the latter intended to protect the biodiversity of the forest, where tourism activities can be carried out, but trees cannot be cut down.
Supervision that contributes to sustainability
These actions made it possible to verify the sustainable use of 39,113 authorized forestry individuals. Of this total, 31,905 were in chestnut concessions, 4,161 in private properties and 2,060 in timber concessions. Likewise, 429 trees were verified in permits for the use of shiringa, 383 in forests of native communities and 175 in concessions for the use of aguaje.
These supervisions are carried out in areas of the forest where the State grants authorizations for the use of forest resources, called enabling titles. In these spaces, OSINFOR verifies in the field that the owners comply with the obligations established in their management plans, such as the conservation of seed trees and the exclusive use of authorized individuals. In this way, we contribute to the natural regeneration of the forest and the sustainability of the forest resource.
Forest supervision makes it possible to verify in the field that harvesting is carried out in accordance with approved management plans. In this way, illegal extraction is prevented and ensures that forests continue to be productive and conserved over time, explained Giancarlo Silva Tello, coordinator of the OSINFOR Decentralized Office in Madre de Dios.
Recognition of compliance with forestry obligations
During 2025, OSINFOR also recognized the good practices of users who sustainably manage forests. From its promotional approach, it granted 89 certificates of compliance with obligations, which turn out to be a reputational guarantee in demanding markets and that provide economic benefits in payment for use.
These documents are granted at the end of the supervision, where compliance with administrative obligations and forestry practices that guarantee the moderate and responsible use of resources are evaluated, in accordance with the management plans presented and current regulations.
