📋 Tender Overview
The Piura Regional Government, through the Directorate of Natural Resources and the Environment of the DRAP, brought together public, private, academic and community institutions with the purpose of strengthening the comprehensive management of the Santa Julia Coastal Wetland. During this meeting, significant advances were highlighted, including the consolidation of its legal protection through Supreme Decree No. 007-2022-MINAGRI and the recent registration of the wetland in SUNARP, measures that ensure its official recognition and reduce the risks of occupation or improper change of use.
Likewise, concrete results derived from the coordination between local entities were presented. The Santa Julia Fragile Ecosystem Communicators Network presented the coordination mechanisms already implemented to improve citizen surveillance and environmental dissemination. In turn, the District Municipality of Veintisirse de Octubre reported on the cleaning sessions carried out together with the National Water Authority (ANA) and community organizations, actions that allowed the removal of solid waste and improving the conditions of the water body and the native vegetation.
Likewise, the participants agreed to promote the identity of the wetland by launching a public contest for the creation of its official logo and the preparation of a main information poster. At the same time, it was proposed to explore sustainable financing alternatives, such as collective financing, responsible tourism and payments for urban ecosystem services, in order to ensure permanent resources that support conservation actions.
Finally, a next meeting was scheduled for Friday, December 12, in which the administration of the available funds will be reviewed and the participation of state entities, universities, private companies and community organizations will continue to be strengthened. With this, the joint commitment to protect this coastal ecosystem essential for the biodiversity and well-being of the Piuran population is reaffirmed.
