• Project description
  Peru’s Cordillera Azul National Park is a natural protected area created in 2001 with a core zone totaling 1.35 million ha and a buffer zone of 2.3 million ha. Since 2003, CIMA, with collaboration from The Field Museum, has implemented a series of measures designed to protect the Park, including developing a viable Park management infrastructure, stabilizing land use and tenure in the buffer zone by working with local communities and officials, and collaborating with regional and national government to design more biodiversity-compatible development strategies (including preventing a road from crossing through the northern section of the Park). These actions have led to effective protection of the Park and its ample and valuable biodiversity. Moreover, the protective actions of CIMA have led to a significant reduction in the emissions of greenhouse gases through prevention of deforestation. CIMA has been working since 2006 to develop a REDD project to ensure long-term funding of critical Park management activities.
