• Pueblo Nuevo• Puerto Nuevo• Flor de Ucayali• RoyaPurpose of the Project:
Conserve the forests of these communities
against the deforestation and degradation
advance.

Reduce the pressure to change the land use in the project areawith 4 components:••••

Proper use of communal land,
Capacity building for the management of natural resources,
Project finance and market linkages, andTechnical assistance and supervision

These actions are intended to prevent the advance ofdeforestation

The REDD+ Project has being developed based in two international standards:- Climate- Community- Biodiversity

Carbonemissions

To avoid an annual average
net emissions of 564,818.5
tCO2-e for the first 10 years.

Main challenges:• Developing of a “business culture” in indigenouscommunities aligned to people´s needs and based on
indigenous values & culture (accountability, transparency
in benefit-sharing, solidarity and reciprocity principles).
• Land invasions in three native communities driven by land
traffic and ilicit crops. Need to increase political willingness
and effective support of regional authorities to address thisissue.
• Scaling-up of business initiatives in other communities andinvolving new partners through similar value chains.
