The multi-sector Working Group was created by Ministerial Resolution No. D000187-2026-MINAM and constitutes one of the main actions promoted by the Environment sector to strengthen environmental recovery actions in the areas impacted by this illicit activity.
The working group is made up of 19 public entities and is chaired by Minam. The Technical Secretariat will be in charge of the General Directorate of Environmental Quality (DGCA). Among its functions is the preparation, within a period of six months, of a national strategy proposal that establishes objectives, goals, lines of action and indicators to guide environmental recovery and sustainable development in said territories.

Illegal mining constitutes one of the countrys main environmental challenges due to its effects on ecosystems, biodiversity, water resources and local communities. In addition to degrading extensive areas of territory, it generates impacts that affect environmental quality and limit sustainable development opportunities for the populations involved.
The strategy that this multisector group will develop will seek to strengthen State intervention through articulated actions for environmental recovery, restoration of degraded areas and promotion of sustainable productive activities that contribute to the well-being of the population and the conservation of the countrys natural heritage.
With this initiative, Minam reaffirms its commitment to promoting comprehensive solutions to recover ecosystems affected by illegal mining and promote sustainable development that benefits populations and strengthens the conservation of natural resources.
