Field activitiesGranting of concessions for conservation in Loreto: - Cotuhé Conservation Concession In the districts of Yaguas and Ramón Castilla, the largest concession in Peru, with 198,742.75 hectares, was granted to the Frankfurt Zoological Society Peru. This vast territory is home to iconic species such as the giant otter (Pteronura brasiliensis), the Amazonian manatee (Trichechus inunguis), the sachavaca (Tapirus terrestris), the otorongo (Panthera onca) and the harpy eagle (Harpia harpyja). It is part of the Putumayo-Içá biocultural corridor, which is key for conservation and carbon storage. The concession seeks to prevent soil fragmentation and promote research and sustainable resource management.- None -
Field activitiesGranting of concessions for conservation in San Martin: - Aguas Claras - Amangay Conservation Concession Asociación El Afluente Aguasclarino, made up of women dedicated to Amazonian conservation, obtained a concession in the district of Pardo Miguel, province of Rioja, San Martin. This area covers 2,088 hectares of basimontane and montane yungas forest in the buffer zone of the Alto Mayo Protected Forest. It also connects with the Sleeping Beauty Forest Conservation Concession, forming a biological corridor that favors the conservation of species such as the Andean pichico (Saguinus leucogenys), the yellow-tailed choro monkey (Lagothrix flavicauda), the Andean cock-of-the-rock (Rupicola peruvianus) and the cedar (Cedrela odorata). - Alto Saposoa Forest Conservation Concession The District Municipality of Alto Saposoa received the concession to conserve 1,826.23 hectares of Yunga basimontane forests, contributing to the preservation of biodiversity and ecosystem services that benefit the population. This area is home to endangered species such as the huangana (Tayassu pecari), the common choro monkey (Lagothrix lagothricha), the black maquisapa (Ateles chamek), and the military macaw (Ara militaris). The water sources of the Shitari Creek and the Shima River, which are essential for more than 1,770 people, 37% of the district's population, are also protected. - Guardianes de Piedra Conservation Concession Located in the lower basin of the Huayabamba River, covering 2,614.60 hectares of tropical rainforest, in the districts of Pachiza, Huicungo and Saposoa, this concession was awarded to the Asociación Agropecuaria Forestal y de Conservación Marisol de la Comunidad de Marisol.

Field activitiesIn Amazónicos por la Amazonía (AMPA), we work with a focus on sustainable land management. In our environmental axis, we encourage and promote conservation initiatives, such as the OMECs and SINANPE areas, under a landscape approach that contributes to the mitigation of the climate crisis and the fulfillment of the country's environmental commitments. We manage natural and cultural heritage in a comprehensive and sustainable manner, also developing applied and participatory research. During 2023 and so far in 2024, we have promoted the creation and management of voluntary and communal conservation initiatives in the departments of San Martin and Loreto. In these areas, men and women of the Peruvian Amazon have actively engaged in the protection of ecosystems and biodiversity.- None -
Please report on the result /achievement of the actions taken: 
- The granting of conservation concessions in the departments of San Martín and Loreto has been successfully achieved.
- The preparation of their management documents (Management Declarations - DEMA) for the first five years.
- The capacities of the holders of conservation concessions have been strengthened, which contributes to the improvement of the management of the area: Management of equipment for monitoring forest cover, organizational strengthening, accreditation of forest custodians, participatory preparation of biological inventories, among other topics.
- Involvement of women in the management of areas.
- Research on amphibians, reptiles, mammals, birds and plants.
What challenges have you encountered in implementing this Resolution and what measures have you taken to overcome them?: 
The challenges for voluntary conservation can be multiple and complex, given the social, economic and environmental context of the Peruvian Amazon. Among the main challenges are: lack of funding and sustainable resources, technical training and organizational strengthening, external pressures on ecosystems, community involvement and gender equity, etc.
