📋 Tender Overview
The supervisions contributed to Ucayali registering a low rate of unauthorized wood extraction in the Peruvian Amazon.Ucayali. - With the commitment to contribute to the conservation of the forests of the Peruvian Amazon in coordination with forest users, during 2025, the Forest and Wildlife Resources Supervision Agency (OSINFOR) supervised 214,891 hectares of forest in the department of Ucayali, which included permits in native communities, timber concessions, private properties and conservation concessions.
With a total of 69 supervisions of enabling titles, 2,658 seed trees were verified, which made it possible to know the state of forest resources, prevent illegal activities and promote more responsible use of the forest. During this period, 29 owners received technical guidance to strengthen their management, with the aim of preventing non-compliance and reducing possible impacts on forestry and wildlife heritage.
Notably, priority was given to the supervision of the shihuahuaco, a species included in the CITES convention and of high commercial value The supervision of the shihuahuaco requires a stricter process due to its status as a threatened species. Therefore, it is necessary to verify in the field 100% of the trees reported as mobilized, which demands higher levels of precision and rigor, especially in areas that are difficult to access, explained Nilon Gatica Sanchez, OSINFOR supervisor.
Additionally, as part of monitoring compliance with obligations, OSINFOR carried out 22 five-year audits, evaluating 351,439 hectares to verify compliance with long-term forest management plans. The favorable results of these evaluations make it possible to recommend the extension of the validity of the enabling titles, contributing to the continuity of responsible use of resources.
Progress towards responsible forest management
As a result of the responsible management of enabling titles in the region, Ucayali registers a low rate of unauthorized extraction (ENA) on lands with enabling titles with only 2.78% at the national level. This indicator reflects the positive impact of a model that combines rigorous supervision with support and capacity building. The commitment of the owners to the regulations is key to protecting our heritage, said Luis Enrique Campos Zumaeta, coordinator of the decentralized office of OSINFOR Pucallpa. Likewise, he highlighted that this good performance allowed the delivery of 15 certificates of compliance to the heads of the department during 2025, a recognition that allows access to discounts in the payment for the right of use by demonstrating good practices in forest management and reputational advantages in the most demanding markets.
Training and support in the territory
From a preventive-orientative approach, OSINFOR complements supervisions with capacity strengthening through the Forest Backpack methodology. In this period, 10 training events were held in its use, benefiting 47 native communities of the Awajun, Ashaninka, Asheninka, Shipibo-Konibo, Cacataibo, Matsigenka, Yine, Kukama-Kukamiria, Ticuna and Yagua indigenous peoples, among others.
Through these trainings we articulate efforts with indigenous leaders and local representatives to strengthen their knowledge in responsible forest management, community surveillance and prevention of forest crimes, among other topics. We seek to consolidate capacities and promote the replication of these learnings in their own communities, highlighted Carlos Andres Alvarez, OSINFOR capacity strengthening specialist.
