    SUBJECT: Environmental Law of Peru

    The purpose of this memorandum is to summarize the basic constructions of the environmental
    policy of the Republic of Peru and demonstrate its initiative by giving the REDD project
    (regional initiative) as an example; Through this analysis we can understand the main laws and
    structures of the Peruvian government.
    The Republic of Peru has developed very strong laws regarding the care of nature and
    ecosystems, as well as their goods and services, taking action to combat climate change,
    reducing deforestation and pollution, and strengthening governance and education with the
    purpose of improving the environmental performance of the country. Even having as a goal that
    by 2030 the country will be allowed to reduce the fragility index of the ecosystems and have

    maintained the adequate state of biological diversity. Since this is the biggest problem to solve
    for them. (No. 023-2021-MINAM)
    As an example, they develop a project which focuses on stopping the advance of deforestation

    in Madre de Dios region which is recognized for having the highest biodiversity indices in the
    Peruvian country and which is part of the Tropical Andes hotspot. But unfortunately it is
    threatened by deforestation, land use change, illegal mining and the increase in migration that it
    generates.
    Consequently, the Tambopata - Bahuaja Sonene REDD+ Project was validated in June 2012 by
    the Rainforest Alliance according to the VCS and CCB Gold standards. This is a financial
    sustainability proposal that has the purpose of conserving the biodiversity of the Amazonian
    humid forests and the socioeconomic development of the communities that live in and of the
    forest.
    The project proposes coordinated work with local communities, grassroots organizations, and
    public and private institutions of Madre de Dios, in order to articulate initiatives that could
    contribute to increasing income and reducing pressure on the areas protected.

    Thanks to the fact that all the participants expressed their total commitment, this project has
    now met its goal of planting a million trees by 2020, now having millions of hopes planted,
    increasing faith in the population.
