📋 Tender Overview
The communities of Padre Abad and Coronel Portillo have 10 Forest Management Declarations (DEMAs), related to timber forest productsIn order to provide free specialized technical assistance in forest and wildlife management, the National Forest and Wildlife Service (SERFOR) of the Ministry of Agrarian Development and Irrigation (MIDAGRI), in coordination with the Regional Forest and Wildlife Management of Ucayali (GERFFS), trained 10 native communities in the provinces of Padre Abad and Coronel Portillo in Ucayali.
Representatives of the native communities of Santa Rosa de Apua and Puerto Nuevo in the district of Padre Abad, as well as Nuevo Peru, Atahualpa de Tabacoa, Nuevo Nazareth, Nueva Union de Pierola, Puerto Grau, Nuevo Saposoa, Nueva Palestina and San Luis de Contamanillo Betel in the district of Iparia, strengthened their capacities to articulate their offer of timber and non-timber forest resources, seeking to improve their associative level and market access.
These actions are aimed at holders of enabling titles who are also organized and/or associated, since this allows them to offer, in greater volumes and with quality, timber and non-timber forest resources and in this way satisfy the markets, indicated the General Director of Sustainable Management of Forest and Wildlife Heritage, Eng. Luis Saavedra Munoz.
