  • Mapping the Funding Landscape for Biodiversity Conservation in Peru
    MAPPING THE FUNDING LANDSCAPE FOR BIODIVERSITY CONSERVATION IN PERU BY KATIA SOFIA NAKAMURA LAM THESIS Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Natural Resources and Environmental Sciences in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2017 Urbana, Illinois Master’s Committee: Assistant Professor Daniel C. Miller, Adviser Associate Professor Richard Brazee Dr. Anthony Waldron, National University of Singapore ABSTRACT Financial resources are crucial to effective biodiversity conservation. Globally, research shoWs that conservation-related eXpenditures are directed toWards countries of high biodiversity importance, even as funding floWs are Well beloW estimates of financial need. The absence of sufficient funding makes the effective and efficient use of the available resources even more imperative. Empirical evidence on previous funding floWs is necessary to develop a baseline for comparison, identification of funding gaps, and assessment of ultimate impacts. To date, hoWever, knoWledge of the distribution of funding Within countries remains very limited. This study, therefore, analyzes the conservation funding landscape in Peru, a mega-diverse country, to shed light on the nature and trends of support for biodiversity and the factors shaping funding allocation at the sub-national level. I carried out desk-based and field research to collect as much data as possible on conservation finance in Peru from 2009, the year the Peruvian Ministry of the Environment Was founded, to 2015, the last year for which full data were available. Information collected covered a range of public and private, domestic and international sources. Overall, I found that 19% of the funding for conservation in Peru derived from domestic sources and 81% from international ones during the study period.

  • Peru Country Case Study
    UNEP/UNDP/GEF/BPSP INTEGRATING BIODIVERSITY INTO THE TOURISM SECTOR PERU COUNTRY CASE STUDY by Joaquín Ugarte And Lizzie Pacheco ASOCIACIÓN ESPECIALIZADA PARA EL DESARROLLO SOSTENIBLE AEDES COOP. JOHN KENNEDY A-1, J.L. BUSTAMANTE Y R. AREQUIPA, ERÚ AP. POSTAL 2114 AREQUIPA E. MAIL: [email protected] www.aedes.com.pe 1. OVERVIEW OF PRESENT STATE OF TORISM DEVELOPMENT IN PERU 1.1. RELATIVE IMPORTANCE IN THE PERUVIAN ECONOMY When considering the Peruvian economy’s different sectors, those which generate foreign income should be given a very high priority; among these are the exports of copper and fisheries, and of course, tourism. Tourism is considered to be one of the most important economic activities in Peru, and is the country’s second largest source of foreign income (one billion dollars in 1999 with a growth trend). It represents 13% of the number of jobs in the services area and is providing 43,000 new jobs per year. 100,000 people are employed directly, and 400,000 indirectly, in tourism. This sector generates one hundred million US dollars annually for the State by means of the General Sales Tax (IGV), which is 18%. This tax isn’t only for tourist activity, is applied for a general services. The monetary inflation in the year 1990 was 7,481.7%. Annual inflation had been cut to 6.46% by the year 1997, in which year the GNP rose by 7.4%. Foreign income from tourism, compared with exports, grew from 6.2% in 1985 to 11.9% in 1997 It is hoped, using a conservative, if not pessimistic estimate that Peru will receive 1 300 000 tourists in the year 2005, in concordance with the Master Plan, which envisages an annual increment of 60 000 tourists.
