📋 Tender Overview
Through inter-institutional coordination, a dynamic control phase was launched that integrates satellite monitoring and drones to protect the most vulnerable sectors of the ANP.The National Service of Natural Areas Protected by the State (Sernanp), an organization attached to the Ministry of the Environment, has launched a decisive phase of consolidation of its strategy to combat illegal mining in the Tambopata National Reserve (RNTAM). This measure, executed in coordination with law enforcement, seeks to protect strategic sectors of the protected natural area against growing threats of illegal activities.
As part of this deployment, Vice Admiral Oscar Torrico Infantas, general director of the Captaincies and Coast Guard (Dicapi), and Jose Carlos Nieto Navarrete, executive president of Sernanp, arrived at the Malinowski surveillance and control post to supervise the operation of a solid infrastructure that today is supported by cutting-edge technology. Also present were Rear Admiral Harry Chiarella Horna and Rear Admiral Felipe Giuria Sanchez, on behalf of Dicapi; as well as Colonel Rodolfo Saenz, chief of the General Staff of the Environmental Directorate of the National Police of Peru; and Prosecutor Carlos Chirre, coordinator of the Fifth Office of the Specialized Prosecutors Office in Environmental Matters.
Despite the geographical complexities of the area, the intervention has allowed the use of tools such as satellite monitoring and high-precision drones to be validated, which contribute to the early and real-time detection of environmental crimes. This technical recognition of the site is vital for the evaluation of the situation of illegal mining and the optimization of new multi-sector intervention protocols.
The presence of the General Directorate of Captaincies and Coast Guard, as well as the National Police of Peru, the Peruvian Army and the Special Prosecutors Office for Environmental Matters is essential to strengthen the fight against illegal mining. That is why we are adding logistical and human capabilities to conserve strategic sectors and, at the same time, guarantee that conservation is the engine of well-being for families that depend on the sustainable use of resources and nature tourism, said Jose Carlos Nieto Navarrete, executive president of the Sernanp.
The incorporation of Dicapi strengthens the multisectoral intervention that the Peruvian State supports together with the National Police, the Army and the Specialized Prosecutors Office for Environmental Matters (FEMA). This synergy consolidates protection in vulnerable ecosystems in various protected natural areas of the country, such as the Allpahuayo Mishana National Reserve, the Alto Mayo Protection Forest, the Amarakaeri Communal Reserve and the Santiago Comaina Reserved Zone. This articulated work for the conservation of protected natural areas is promoted by Sernanp and has the support of General(r) Rodolfo Garcia Esquerre, High Commissioner for the Fight against Illegal Mining of the Presidency of the Council of Ministers.
This deployment allows moving towards a dynamic control model with permanent land and river patrols. Thus, Sernanp not only guarantees the integrity of natural resources, but also cements the sustainability and security of the populations that depend on these territories.
