This initiative will strengthen the management and financial sustainability of 25 Protected Natural Areas<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cWe celebrate the approval of the project, which not only strengthens the care of our protected areas together with indigenous organizations, guaranteeing their protection and long-term sustainability; but will also reinforce one of the main strategies that the Environment sector has been promoting, which is to ensure the conservation of our biodiversity to contribute to the development and improvement of the quality of life of the communities,\u201d said Jos\u00e9 Carlos Nieto, executive president of Sernanp.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In a coordinated manner, Sernanp and Profonanpe will be in charge of the climate change mitigation component through the effective management of Protected Natural Areas, while WWF Peru and the eight indigenous organizations will lead the climate adaptation component through resilient productive practices and ecosystem-based solutions in 30 communities.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cThis project allows us to contribute to the sustainability of Protected Natural Areas and continue supporting the effective management of 15.8 million hectares in the Amazon. We hope that in the next seven years, we will enable more than 10,000 people to adopt resilient production strategies to conserve our biodiversity.<\/em>\u201d,\u201d explained Anton Willems, Executive Director of Profonanpe.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Among the proposed goals, it is estimated that the project will prevent the emission of approximately 1.8 million tons of carbon dioxide, improve the management of 15.8 million hectares and directly benefit more than 33,000 people, including nearly 12,000 who will adopt climate-resilient production strategies.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Likewise, the financing contemplates the sustainability of conservation for 25 years, through the strengthening of mechanisms such as tourism income, payments for ecosystem services related to water (MERESE) and environmental compensation schemes.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Sustainability for the Amazon<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Natural Heritage of Peru initiative, announced in 2019, will close an estimated $5.3 million annual funding gap for Peru's system of Protected Natural Areas.
