📋 Tender Overview
The initiative is led by Sernanp, attached to the Ministry of the Environment; together with strategic allies, for the benefit of more than 40 native communities in the Curanja River basins.As part of an initiative led by the Ministry of the Environment, through the National Service of Natural Areas Protected by the State (Sernanp), the National Association of Executors of Administration Contracts for the Communal Reserves of Peru (Anecap) and the Executor of the Administration Contract of the Purus Communal Reserve (Ecopurus), more than 5 tons of aid are being delivered to 520 families from the native communities located in the basins of the Curanja River, in Purus, Ucayali.
This aid includes rice, sugar, salt, cookies, flour and cooking oil, for the benefit of 42 native communities in the sectors of Curanja, Alto Purus, Medio Purus and Bajo Purus, who since December have been affected by the rains and floods recorded in this area.
In this way, we seek to contribute to improving the quality of life of families that have been affected by these weather events that have generated the temporary loss of agricultural areas, as well as bread-winner crops, putting local food security at risk.
To this end, Sernanp personnel in the territory have been working in coordination with the different local institutions for priority attention to the critical border areas of Purus, within the framework of the Law for Border Development and Integration and its Regulations.
With this initiative, Sernanp reaffirms its commitment to the well-being of the population in the areas surrounding the Purus Communal Reserve and the Alto Purus National Park, and recognizes the fundamental role of native communities in the care and protection of the territory.
The delivery of this aid has been possible thanks to the support of the Frankfurt Zoological Society and the National Association of Executors of Administration Contracts for the Communal Reserves of Peru (Anecap), through the IKI Project Amazonian Living Landscapes.
