Component 3: Indigenous Empowerment
Pro-Bosques supports indigenous communities’ rights and resources through sustainable forest management.
Indigenous communities face livelihood and land threats that challenge their rights and capacity to protect the nearly 18% of Peru’s Amazonian forests found in their lands. Pro-Bosques helps in the development and implementation of community Life Plans in its 12 participating communities through community forest management strategies and the enabling of their Community Control and Oversight indigenous organization networks and also fosters inclusive markets by increasing indigenous peoples’ participation in forest value chains.
