📋 Tender Overview
Forest permits holders reinforce their knowledge to manage the forest with responsibility and transparency.In order to continue strengthening the good management of forest resources, the agency for supervision of forest and wildlife resources (Osinfor) carried out, on May 13 and 14, the workshop Compliance with obligations of holders of qualifying titles and book of operations for the management of the forest aimed at holders of forest permits in private properties of the province of Puerto Inca, Huanuco region. In order to bring technical knowledge closer to those who manage the forest, facilitate access to information and promote more responsible and efficient management.
We have oriented this workshop directly to the holders of qualifying titles in private properties so that they know and understand their obligations, improve their forest management and avoid sanctions. We also have been articulating with local authorities to strengthen capabilities and generate joint commitments. There is still a way to go, but we continue committed to influence and advance constantly, said Jose Diaz, coordinator of the decentral Osinfor in Pucallpa.
During the workshop, participants reinforced their knowledge through theoretical and practical sessions, on the rules that guide their forest activity, the correct record in the book of operations for enabling titles (Loth) and the use of digital tools such as the electronic box and the mibosque application, which serve to comply with their obligations in accordance with what the standard demands. All this with a preventive approach that seeks to avoid infractions and strengthen performance during the supervisions carried out by the Osinfor.
We see Osinfor as an ally, a partner who guides us to better carry our management plans. Today I have better understood how information in the operations book should be recorded, and we will share it with other colleagues so that they also manage their books well from the beginning of the use. These training are important, because we avoid administrative errors that can complicate later. My message is that we formalize us, that we work together with the osinfor. That, legally, we can make a good forest exploitation, said Carlos Verde, head of a forest permit on private properties.
This strengthening space is part of the work articulated with the National Forest and Wildlife Service (Serfor) and the Forest and Wildlife Technical Administration (ATFFS) of Puerto Inca, who respond to the states commitment to guarantee a responsible and transparent forest management.
Response to a need in the territory
In the area of Puerto Inca, between 2023 and 2024 33 forest permits were granted on private properties, which cover a total area of more than 2,300 hectares of forest. To date, only a holder has proof of compliance with obligations, while others are in the process of supervision during the year. Faced with this context, it seeks to provide key tools for holders to identify the most common infractions, adequately fulfill their obligations and adopt the use of technological tools that facilitate a more responsible management of their forest activities.
This effort is part of the strategic action of the Osinfor aimed at strengthening the capacities of forest actors, contributing to sustainable use and the conservation of forest resources.
