• Project description
  In collaboration with local partners Ecotribal, the Ashaninka chiefs at Cutivireni offered their land for sponsorship through Cool Earth, allowing them (the chiefs) to keep their forests in tact and continue to live sustainably from their own land. Cool Earth's project with the Ashaninka tribe at Cutivireni prevents loggers from entering the community's forests and the neighbouring Ashaninka Communal Reserve which form a buffer zone for Otishi National Park. To optimize transparency in the planned use and accounting of the community incomes generated by the project, a community association was established in Cutivireni (Tsimi- the Ashaninka Bioclimatic Association) which is comprised of delegates from all of the scattered, often remote, villages which together form the community. This association continues the financial and strategic management of the project, as well as providing a framework for information flows and decision-making. An additionnal small initiative of tree planting with Treeflights started in 2007 but failed.
