The long term partnership with the Madre de Dios Federation of Brazil nut Concessioners (FEPROCAMD) is aimed at preventing deforestation and preserving environmental integrity on 300,000 hectares of concession land in high quality rainforest. The project is helping to establish initiatives to increase both the value of the healthy forest and the income generated through sustainable Brazil nut harvesting, empowering concessioners to protect and maintain their forest. Limited to subsistence Brazil nut collection and, in some cases, subsistence forestry, the long-term wellbeing of concessioners and their families is highly dependent on the health of local ecosystems. However, with few resources to protect their concessions Illegal deforestation on concession land is common and has increased due to the new InterOceanic Highway, which passes through Madre de Dios in Peru.
This project’s main strategy aims to reduce deforestation in the project area through strengthening the federation of Brazil Nut producers and generating income from sustainable forest management of non-timber forest products (Brazil nuts).
