The International Tropical Timber Organization INTERNATIONAL TROPICAL TIMBER ORGANIZATION ITTO PROJECT PROPOSAL TITLE: IMPLEMENTATION OF A FIRE PREVENTION AND CONTROL PLAN IN THE CENTRAL AMAZON REGION OF PERU SERIAL NUMBER: PD 665/12 Rev.2 (F) COMMITTEE: REFORESTATION AND FOREST MANAGEMENT SUBMITTED BY: GOVERNMENT OF PERU ORIGINAL LANGUAGE: SPANISH SUMMARY Peru has approximately 68 million hectares of natural forests, with the second largest forest area in Latin America where approximately 94% of forests are in the Amazon Region. These Amazon forests are in the high and low rainforest areas, with the high rainforest ecosystem recording the highest rate of Andean population immigration to work in agriculture; this has put enormous pressure on the forests, and is one of the main causes leading to deforestation and burning of forests for land use change. Amazon forests in the Department of Pasco cover approximately 1.4 million hectares, with deforestation on 302,000 hectares according to the 2005 study by PROCLIM. As a result of burning from shifting subsistence agriculture and changes in land use, forest fires have been causing human, economic and ecological losses, year after year. This in turn has caused loss of biodiversity, soil degradation, loss of water quality and quantity, as well as an increase in poverty among the rural and native population of the region, In this context, there is an urgent need to implement a project with the overall objective of curbing deforestation and forest ecosystem degradation through a significant reduction in forest slashing and burning so as to mitigate climate change and contribute to the improvement of the quality of life of the population in the Pasco Region. The specific objective of the project is to implement a Forest Fire Prevention and Control Plan in the Province of Oxapampa, Department of Pasco. The project will be implemented in accordance with the ITTO Guidelines on Fire Management in Tropical Forests. The target area of the project in the Department of Pasco covers the five districts with the highest occurrence of heat spots in the province of Oxapampa. The project will develop a system to articulate the various state and private sector bodies, will implement a monitoring center with timely and reliable information and will train all stakeholders involved, particularly native communities. Furthermore, the project will provide high-tech operating units to fight forest fires.

Its main causes include shifting agriculture that is linked to uncertain land tenure and access, as well as market pressures and undervaluation of forests; all these have been causing serious damage to forest ecosystems. According to the FRA 2010 (FAO), of the 68 million hectares of tropical forests in Peru, Amazon forests represent close to 94%; they are the largest and most important forest ecosystem in Peru because of their enormous biodiversity. However, as a result of burning from shifting agriculture, forest fires have been causing human, economic and ecological losses, year after year. This in turn has caused loss of biodiversity, soil degradation, loss of water quality and quantity, as well as an increase in poverty among the rural and native population in the Department of Pasco, Province of Oxapampa, in the high rainforest region1, with the compounding fact that it is precisely at the headwaters of the Amazon basin, so any forest and soil degradation there immediately affects the entire low altitude rainforest, to the Atlantic. In this respect, it is very important to promote actions that will mitigate these problems affecting the high rainforests of Peru. Thus, the project’s development objective is to curb deforestation and forest ecosystem degradation through a significant reduction in forest slashing and burning so as to mitigate climate change and contribute to the improvement of the quality of life of the population in the Pasco Region. Its specific objective is to implement a Forest Fire Prevention and Control Plan in the province of Oxapampa, Department of Pasco, following the ITTO Guidelines on Fire Management in Tropical Forests. By the end of the project, the risk of forest-fire caused deforestation and forest degradation in the high Amazon rainforest will have decreased in the target area, thanks to an inter-sectoral coordination system, involvement in organized civil society, particularly in native communities living in the area; furthermore, there will be timely information available thanks to monitoring mechanisms and enhanced capacities of the regional and local governments as well as local communities. The direct target area of the project is in the Department of Pasco, Province of Oxapampa, in the Oxapampa, Chontabamba, Huancabamba, Pozuzo and Puerto Bermúdez districts. This zone is rich in biodiversity and includes part of the Oxapampa – Ashaninka – Yanesha Biosphere Reserve (RBOAY), recognised by UNESCO in 2010 and added to the World Network of Biosphere Reserves. Today, this network includes 569 reserves in 109 countries. The Oxapampa – Asháninka – Yánesha Biosphere Reserve (RBOAY) covers more than 1.8 million hectares and includes the Yanachaga – Chemillén National Park, the Yánesha Community Reserve, and the San Matías – San Carlos Protection Forest as well as part of the El Sira Community Reserve, four of the six Natural Protected Areas in the Department of Pasco (see Table 6). It also includes Yánesha and Asháninka ethnic community lands and forests, as well as Andean and Austrian- German descendant settler agricultural units. With these characteristics the Department of Pasco is the third for the size of its Natural Protected Area cover, with 25.5% of its department area in this category.

  • Selva Central, Una Región Para Construir
    Selva central, una región para construir Luis García Calderón Introducción Desde la capital de la república, recorriendo poco más de trescien- tos kilómetros de carretera, se avizora la selva central, donde el folleto turístico ofrece naturaleza y aventura, así como expresio- nes culturales de indígenas y colonos. Chanchamayo y Satipo en Junín, junto con la provincia de Oxapampa en la selva pasqueña, comparten la oferta de ese folleto, pero con una realidad político administrativa que a pesar de su cercanía a Lima, es poco conocida y todo indica que tampoco ha sido correctamente comprendida. Junín y Pasco, al igual que las demás circunscripciones regio- nales, fueron creadas desde la demarcación departamental preexis- tente, considerando realidades andinas y de selva que en muchos casos no tenían conexión social, económica y/o vial, situación que ya arrastraba problemas de integración. Muchos de los analistas coinciden en señalar que iniciar un proceso de descentralización desde los departamentos ha sido tal vez el mayor error del proceso pero, por otro lado y sin razón valedera, se minimiza el hecho de que a pesar de todos los problemas de desconexión territorial y de asignación presupuestal, algunos departamentos hasta cierto punto venían construyendo una identidad gracias a sus tradicio- nes y su historia. Por su parte, la selva de Pasco y Junín, como 254 Selva central, una región para construir producto de su diversidad étnica, tenía un proceso de composición sociodemográfica muy particular, ajeno a lo que acontecía en el resto de las provincias de ambos departamentos, razón por la cual no se identificaban plenamente con ellos.

It supports countless thousands of species, as well as 30 million people. © Brent Stirton / Getty Images / WWF-UK © Brent Stirton / Getty Images The Amazon is the largest rainforest on Earth. It’s famed for its unrivalled biological diversity, with wildlife that includes jaguars, river dolphins, manatees, giant otters, capybaras, harpy eagles, anacondas and piranhas. The many unique habitats in this globally significant region conceal a wealth of hidden species, which scientists continue to discover at an incredible rate. Between 1999 and 2009, at least 1,200 new species of plants and vertebrates have been discovered in the Amazon biome (see page 6 for a map showing the extent of the region that this spans). The new species include 637 plants, 257 fish, 216 amphibians, 55 reptiles, 16 birds and 39 mammals. In addition, thousands of new invertebrate species have been uncovered. Owing to the sheer number of the latter, these are not covered in detail by this report. This report has tried to be comprehensive in its listing of new plants and vertebrates described from the Amazon biome in the last decade. But for the largest groups of life on Earth, such as invertebrates, such lists do not exist – so the number of new species presented here is no doubt an underestimate.

Introduction: La route de Satipo est une destination ornitho encore très peu connue. Pourtant la biodiversité que l'on rencontre le long de cette route est similaire, si ce n'est supérieure, à celle que l'on trouve sur la fameuse route de Manu dans le sud du Pérou. La preuve : nous avons réussi à contacter plus de 500 espèces en seulement 12 jours, en incluant une journée avant le tour aux Lomas de Lachay, et une virée en mer après le tour. Cependant, personne n'a véritablement contacter ces 500 espèces. En effet, l'équipe s'est parfois divisé en deux groupes, et tout le monde n'a donc pas emprunté le même itinéraire. Les 503 espèces présentées dans ce rapport sont celles qui ont été contactées par l'ensemble des participants. Mais tout le monde a vu au moins 400 espèces en seulement 11 jours – ce qui est déjà remarquable !! Actuellement, Kolibri Expeditions débute un projet avec les communautés vivant le long de la route de Satipo afin de développer le secteur en destination éco-touristique.

  • Localized Agrifood Systems Dynamics and Geographical Indications As Ways to Reinforce Food Systems’ Sustainability? Case Studies in Mongolia and Peru
    Theme 5 – Sustainable agrifood systems, value chains and power structures Localized AgriFood Systems dynamics and Geographical Indications as ways to reinforce food systems’ sustainability? Case studies in Mongolia and Peru Stéphane Fourniera, Blandine Arvisb, Fanny Michaudb a Innovation, Montpellier SupAgro, Inra, Cirad, Univ Montpellier, France, [email protected] b Montpellier SupAgro, [email protected]; [email protected] Abstract: Localised AgriFood Systems (LAFS), particularly when they are reinforced by a Geographical Indication (GI) registration system, are seen as a sustainable model of production and trade. This paper interrogates this assertion. Seeking the bases of LAFS and GI sustainability, it examines their appearance and continuation throughout their development trajectory, first theoretically, then thanks to two case studies (“Villa Rica coffee” in Peru and “Uvs Seabuckthorn” in Mongolia). Theoretically, LAFS ability to induce a sustainable trajectory for local resources’ valorization is established. Different types of proximities, an institutionalization process and territorial solidarity may help overcome collective action blockages and contribute to constructing an innovation system, providing that local actors may interact with the system’s external environment. Clear threats appear however during LAFS expansion, as proximities and coordination capacity are necessarily reduced, whereas increase in production may induce a stronger competition. GI could then appear as the solution, being able to delimit production area and to reinforce local organizations within it. Put to the test, this model appears quite strong during the initial phases of LAFS development, but doesn’t capture the interactions between LAFS and the other production and trade models coexisting in the food systems. LAFS and GI, which need a strong producers’ involvement, are permanently challenged by other models in which producers can engage themselves individually (private brands, organic production, niche markets…).
