Preparing Peru’s Madre de Dios Region for REDD+

Promote REDD+ as a mechanism for sustainable conservation financing in Madre de Dios by increasing understanding and technical capacity of local stakeholders -- targeting local and regional governments, grassroots conservation groups, agricultural producers, indigenous communities, and protected areas management committees. Grant will result in a consensus-based deforestation map to serve as a baseline and a participatory REDD+ strategy for the region.
