It is the world's largest fund dedicated to helping developing countries reduce their greenhouse gas emissions and improve their capacity to respond to climate change.
It is the representative agency of the Korean government for development cooperation. Since its establishment in Peru in 2000, it has contributed over US$118 million, implementing more than 20 projects in public health, public administration, digitalization, the environment, and other areas.
Profonanpe is Peru's environmental fund that provides innovative alternatives for environmental protection and sustainable development.
The Pastaza Fan, classified as a Ramsar site, is a wetland of international importance due to its water resources, biodiversity, and its role in capturing greenhouse gases to mitigate the effects of climate change in Peru and the planet.
Technical files were prepared for the Kandozi, Chapra, and Shawi peoples, based on the conceptualization and worldview of the indigenous peoples.
Preparation and approval of 48 Management Declarations (DEMA) and Fisheries Management Program (PROMAPE), which are instruments for the management of the resource in a given area and which are approved by the sub-national authority.
Twelve anchor bio-businesses and 44 bio-business units have been implemented in the Saramiriza, Kandozi, Bajo Marañón Pastaza and Achuar corridors.
Among the main products sustainably harvested and marketed are: Aguaje, Ungurahui, Huicungo, Sangre de grado, Murumuru, Copaiba, native cacao, and Copal. Also included are Paiche, Boquichico, Gamitama, Lisa, Tucunaré, Doncella, Palometa, and taricaya turtles.
More than 110 workshops were conducted to strengthen capacities focused on improving management skills, implementing efficient production processes, resolving environmental conflicts, monitoring and sustainable use of resources, among others. A total of 1,197 people were trained, of whom approximately 21% were women.
Leveraging funds - National Innovation Program in Fisheries and Aquaculture (PNIPA) and PROCOMPITE - for more than S/847,000, for the execution of aquaculture, aguaje, and chocolate projects with native cacao.
In 2022, a study was conducted that allowed the quantification of carbon stock at the level of peatland areas, where 6 evaluation zones were defined for the native communities of Alfonso Ugarte, Puerto América, Estrella, Puerto Industrial, Campo Verde and Recreo.
It was estimated that the carbon stored in the peat (soil) amounts to 5,251,179,489 t CO2eq. Of the three types of peatlands identified (Aguajal, Herbaceous Swamp and Hydromorphic Varillal) in the Datem del Marañón province, the largest carbon reserve is constituted by the “aguajal” forests with a stock of 5,021,790,650.5 t CO2eq compared to the values of 125,034,726.4 and 104,354,112.5 t CO2eq estimated for the “herbaceous swamp” and “hydromorphic varillal” respectively.
In 2022, the "Peru for the SDGs" award in the Planet category, from Sustainable Peru, recognizes initiatives that work for the sustainable development of the country.
The project has benefited 13,920 people (50.31% women) from 116 native communities of 7 indigenous peoples.
Carbon stock measurement for the Datem del Marañón province: 6,948 million tCO2eq. 2,153 million tCO2eq of this are stored in the communities involved in the project.
Process of creating the 3rd ACA (Sasipahua) by initiative of the population.
The inventories of non-timber forest products, necessary for the management plans in the associations, were successfully completed.
Women's participation in fairs has increased during the life of the project (4 associations out of 16).
The Local Climate Change Plan (PLCC) for the Datem del Marañón Province has been approved and published, and has been shared with five district municipalities. It will subsequently be sent to the Regional Government of Loreto for inclusion in the Regional Climate Change Strategy.
Three Environmental Conservation Areas with a scope of 393,550 hectares have management plans and Forest Surveillance and Control Committees recognized by GERFOR Loreto.
36 trade agreements signed.
52 approved natural resource management plans covering 246,000 hectares.
15,120 beneficiaries from 07 indigenous communities.
