📋 Tender Overview
Forest Program will allocate more than S/ 13 million to protect around 800 thousand hectares in eight regions of the country.The Ministry of the Environment (Minam) continues this year with forest conservation actions in the country through joint work with native and peasant communities, key actors in the protection of these strategic ecosystems for climate regulation and climate change mitigation.
Within this framework, the National Forest Conservation Program for the Mitigation of Climate Change (Forest Program) will grant economic incentives for more than S/ 13.5 million to around 85 communities, as part of the Conditional Direct Transfers (TDC) mechanism.
This intervention will benefit approximately 4,400 families in the regions of Loreto, Amazonas, San Martin, Cajamarca, Ucayali, Pasco, Junin and Cusco, contributing to the conservation of more than 800 thousand hectares of forests.
Through this mechanism, the sector promotes sustainable productive activities, community surveillance, food security and the strengthening of territorial management.
Surveillance and monitoring
The Forests Program, with support from the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) and the World Bank (WB), articulates actions with regional governments and communities for the monitoring and surveillance of forests, including the strengthening of capacities and the delivery of equipment for their protection.
These actions contribute to the conservation of forests, key ecosystems that provide environmental, social and economic benefits and play a fundamental role in carbon capture.
It should be noted that every March 21, the International Day of Forests is commemorated, established by the General Assembly of the United Nations, with the aim of raising awareness among citizens about their importance.
