| Abstract |
Several individual projects aim at preserving tropical rainforest areas in the Peruvian part of the Amazonas by improving the management of existing protected areas (e.g. Communal Reserve El Sira, Pui Pui Protection Forest, Reserve Pampa Hermosa) and adjacent zones. At the same time the rich biodiversity of these areas will be protected. Integration of the local and in part indigenous population into the management of these areas, investments in sustainable resource utilisation measures and the creation of new income sources in the adjacent zones of the three existing protected areas will constitute the platform for long-term sustainable management. |
