Your strategic ally in natural preservation

Quiénes somos

Committed to caring for the planet

We are a private, non-profit organization, specialized in efficiently raising and managing financial resources for the execution of programs and projects that contribute to the conservation of biodiversity and the mitigation and adaptation of climate change.

With more than 30 years of successful institutional work, Profonanpe has established itself as the most important private environmental fund in Peru. Since its founding, it has been characterized as an institution specialized in creating, developing and implementing innovative processes in administrative and fund management, participatory management and involvement of private companies.

Profonanpe’s experience has allowed it to validate the fundamental aspects of its institutional design. Its beginnings date back to obtaining seed capital that was oriented towards both institutional support and financing conservation activities in natural protected areas. This design has also allowed the government and its international allies to commit resources through the negotiation of debt-for-nature swaps. It is also the first organization of its kind to have a design adapted to the administration of trust funds.

Profonanpe´s work continues to develop throughout the country through the creation of synergies and alliances with public and private institutions; and other international, bilateral, multilateral organizations and foundations, uniting efforts for a common good: the conservation of nature.
