The project is located in Peru, in the south-east area of the Department of Madre de Dios, in the province of Tahuamanu (districts of Iñapari, Iberia and Tahuamanu). The project area (PA) comprises the consolidated Otorongo and Chullachaqui areas covering a total of 183,015 hectares. The project is based on the sustainable forest management of certified wood from the consolidated “Inversiones Forestales Chullachaqui SAC” and “Forestal Otorongo SAC” in the Province of Tahuamanu, department of Madre de Dios in southeast Peru.The Project Area is 183,015 hectares and is located 17 km from the interoceanic highway, the main transversal communication route between Peru and Brazil. In addition, the project area operates as part of the Vilcabamba-Amboró Biological Corridor, which would have an area of approximately 30 million hectares. Within the project area, there are no native indigenous populations. In the towns of Alerta, Portillo, San Francisco and Oceania there are settlers dedicated to collecting Brazil nuts and eventually shiringa. The general objective of the company is to manage the extension of forest granted by the Peruvian State, improving the production of forest goods and services in a continuous and sustainable manner with an adequate long-term strategy for its implementation. The main project objectives are the following: • Climate Goal: Reduce the expected deforestation rate and the associated GHG emissions in the project area in the upcoming years • Community Goal: Promote and consolidate a sustainable use of agrarian land increasing the family incomes without necessity to expand to new areas • Biodiversity Goal: Protect the rich ecosystem that is home of many significant threatened species of fauna and flora
