Profonananpe is a strategic ally in the support of the conservation and protection of our biodiversity, as well as an important support for the different Peruvian and international counterparts, who seek to do their part to change the paradigms regarding the vision we have of nature and the ecosystem services we receive from it. Thanks to Profonanpe, it has been possible to channel funding for the implementation of different projects that seek to enhance the value of our biodiversity.

Profonananpe’s track record and effectiveness makes it a leading fund and an example to follow in Latin America. It is an institution that is capable of fusing institutional solidity with a great capacity to innovate and reinvent itself, without losing sight of its primary objective: the conservation of biodiversity. Personally, I have had the opportunity to get to know many of its collaborators over the last 10 years and I can attest to their human and technical qualities.

Conservation International has worked with Profonanpe for several decades, joining efforts for the administration and management of financial resources, such as those of the First Debt-for-Nature Swap in Peru, which contributed to the conservation of Natural Protected Areas, as also today, with the endowment fund of the Vilcanota Conservation Corridor, the recovery of the Polylepis forests with the rural communities of Cusco is assured. Profonananpe is also a benchmark for Environmental Funds in Latin America and the Caribbean, always seeking innovation in its investments and creating models of financial sustainability for development and conservation.

It is an honor for the Mexican Fund for the Conservation of Nature to have Profonanpe as a partner. Since the founding of the Latin American and Caribbean Network of Environmental Funds in 1999, Profonananpe has been a fundamental partner in the exchange of experiences and in the creation and innovation of financial mechanisms for the conservation of natural resources. We are very grateful for their generosity in sharing their lessons learned from supporting natural protected areas up to accreditation by the Green Climate Fund, with Profonanpe being their first direct access entity. We foresee many opportunities for collaboration in the future and look forward to working together to conserve the great biodiversity and culture of our countries.

As the implementing partner of the Castañas project in Madre de Dios, Profonanpe proved to be a solid organization with a team that is very committed to the conservation and sustainable use of the country’s natural heritage. The Castañas project had excellent results thanks to the attention that Profonanpe’s team paid to technical, social, political, economic and gender aspects, maintaining a close relationship of trust with the beneficiaries.
