📋 Tender Overview
The Amazon strengthens her governance: Sernanp drives alliances with communities to face environmental challenges.Listen, understand and act. With this premise, the National Service of Natural Areas Protected by the State (Sernanp), an agency assigned to the Ministry of Environment, led a training in Puerto Esperanza to strengthen environmental and social management in the protected natural areas (ANP) of the Peruvian Amazon, involving communities, institutions and grades in the same objective: protect biodiversity.
The workshop, carried out together with the Zoological Society of Frankfurt within the framework of the Manu-Purus Program Legacy Landscapes, was attended by 17 grades, four strategic institutions and the management committee of the Purus Community Reserve, composed of representatives of native peoples such as Sharanahua, Hunikuin, Ashaninka, Cashinahua and Junkuin.
Attendees worked with two key tools: MGAS-SINANPE and MAQS, fundamental to anticipate socio-environmental risks, improve citizen care and strengthen transparency in the management of ANP, reinforcing confidence link with the local population.
The MAQS represents an open door for communities to raise their concerns and actively participate in conservation, the organizing team explained.
The Sernanp advances in the consolidation of an inclusive management model, in which state and Amazonian communities join efforts to protect biodiversity and guarantee respect for the rights of indigenous peoples. These actions strengthen the dialogue with the original peoples and improve the institutional capacity to prevent and respond to socio -environmental conflicts, ensuring the conservation of one of the most important natural assets in the country.
