📋 Tender Overview
Regional initiative brings together governments and communities to confront environmental threats and ensure the future of one of the most strategic corridors on the planet.Peru, Colombia and Ecuador advanced in the articulation of actions for the conservation and sustainable development of the Amazon during the Meeting of Actors of the Trinational Corridor and the XXXIII meeting of its Technical Committee, held from March 11 to 16 in the Putumayo River basin.
The activities were promoted within the framework of the Trinational Program, which promotes coordination between the three countries for the management of the conservation and sustainable development corridor in this border area.
The Meeting of Actors made it possible to update key information for territorial management, exchange experiences between institutions and communities, and collect contributions for updating the diagnosis of the trinational corridor.
For its part, the XXXIII meeting of the Technical Committee, held on March 14 and 15, facilitated the review of progress and the definition of joint lines of work for the coming years, aimed at strengthening biodiversity conservation and coordination with local actors.
As part of the agenda, activities were carried out in the territory that linked the technical agreements with concrete actions in communities in the area.
In the native community of Tres Fronteras (Peru), nearly 2,000 baby taricayas (Podocnemis unifilis) were released into the Putumayo River, as part of a management and conservation process developed since 2024 by the National Service of Natural Protected Areas by the State (Sernanp), in co-management with the Huimeki Communal Reserve and the active participation of the communal surveillance committee.
Likewise, a conservation agreement was signed between the leadership of the Gueppi-Sekime National Park and the Association of Meliponiculturists of the Tres Fronteras Native Community, made up of local families that develop sustainable productive initiatives.
This agreement seeks to strengthen meliponiculture as an economic alternative compatible with forest conservation, also recognizing the ecological role of native bees in Amazonian ecosystems.
During the day, the Without Borders - PVC Trinational Gueppi Link Zone was also inaugurated, a space aimed at promoting sustainable practices such as agroforestry systems, nurseries and organic waste management.
These activities included the participation of Sernanp, local authorities, indigenous organizations and representatives of entities from Colombia and Ecuador.
Additionally, a visit was made to the Tukunare community, Colombia, where experiences on the management of the territory, traditional knowledge and the relationship of the communities with their natural environment were shared.
The actions developed are part of the articulated work of the Trinational Program, with the support of the Foundation for Conservation and Sustainable Development, within the framework of the GEF project for integrated management of the Putumayo-Ica river basin.
The Peruvian delegation was made up of the Executors of the Nukanchipa Administration Contract Sumak Sacha and Sieko Pai, heads, specialists and park rangers of the protected natural border areas such as the Gueppi-Sekime National Park - Sernanp, the Huimeki Communal Reserve - Sernanp and the Airo Pai Communal Reserve, managed by Sernanp, attached to the Ministry of the Environment - Peru.
The Data
More than 4 million hectares of Amazon forests, shared by Colombia, Ecuador and Peru, are part of one of the most ambitious conservation efforts in the region. This is the Trinational Conservation Program, created in 2011, which articulates strategic protected areas to promote joint management of biodiversity, promote sustainable economies and strengthen the role of local communities in the protection of territories that do not recognize borders.
