Full name
"Final impulse for the protection of the indigenous territories of the Peruvian Amazon"
General objective
Close the territorial gaps of the indigenous peoples of the Peruvian Amazon, which will include new community titles, expansions of territory and rectification of boundaries. This project aims to create large spaces for conservation and sustainable management, not only of communal territories, but also of forests or protected areas between rivers, where communities act as a buffer zone.
Strategy
The capacities of the Regional Government will be strengthened through technical and financial support. CEDIA will renew and expand the cooperation agreements with the regional governments to formalize the commitments and organize the necessary equipment for the diagnosis and legalization of the properties of the prioritized areas.
Lines of action
1) Territorial organization, through the legal physical sanitation of more than 200 native and peasant riverside communities.
2) Strengthening the community organization, for all beneficiary communities of the project and the development and implementation of Life Plans for approximately 150 of them.
3) Implementation of natural resource management, as sustainable economic alternatives in the selected communities.
Financing
Contamos con la entidad cooperante Rainforest Trust
