📋 Tender Overview
Project integrates fishermen into recycling models and activates private investment to ensure the sustainability of Perus marine and Andean natural heritage.In a race against climate change and the loss of biodiversity, Peru reaffirms its international commitment. Our country, which already protects about 19% of its national territory, has launched an ambitious strategy to achieve the 30x30 Goal of the Kunming-Montreal Global Framework.
The new project, financed by the Moore Foundation and implemented by WWF Peru and Descosur in coordination with the National Service of Natural Areas Protected by the State (Sernanp), seeks to close the gap in marine conservation, which currently only reaches 7.9%. The initiative intervenes directly in six protected natural areas of national administration, one regional and one private.
A strategic point of this intervention is located on the coast of Arequipa. There, adjacent to the System of Islands, Islets and Puntas Guaneras National Reserve, work is being done on benthic fisheries management to ensure the sustainability of the resources.
This effort comes to life in the Atico district through a pioneering circular economy model. There, 100 fishermen and 50 boats have been trained to manage their waste responsibly, joining a chain that links the Artisanal Fishing Landing, now equipped with new containers, with local associations of recyclers.
Added to this is the presentation of five investment routes at the Impact Investment Summit, promoted by Sernanps Natural Heritage of Peru initiative. These routes not only seek financing, but invite the private sector to become a strategic partner to conserve the countrys greatest treasure: our protected natural areas.
