A group of civil society organizations has petitioned the head of the Ministry of Agriculture (Minag), Milton Von Hesse, for a more dynamic reform of the forest and wildlife sectors to, as they say, "give it competitiveness and inclusion ".

The petition mentions the status and progress in improving the policy and institutional framework of forestry management in the country and specifically recommends:

  • the development of a new participatory policy for forestry and wildlife;
  • the design and implementation of improved institutional arrangement

and

  • a revised Forest Act and Wildlife Act

The petition directed at the Ministry of Agriculture says "We urge your office to strengthen the team of the Forestry and Wildlife (DGFFS), providing dedicated staff necessary for the process, the necessary budget for implementation of activities and the political and institutional support of all Ministries”.

Regarding the proposed draft National Forestry Policy and Wildlife (PNFFS), submitted in December 2012, the organizations asked to expand to 120 days the period for receiving input from the public”.
The group further asked for greater transparency in progress with development of regulations being developed by the National Forestry and Wildlife Agency (SERFOR).

The petition to the Ministry was signed by organizations such as the Peruvian Society for Environmental Law (SPDA), Law Environment and Natural Resources (DAR), Peruvian Society for Ecological Development (SPDE), Proética, Association for the Conservation of the Amazon Basin (ACCA), Center Indigenous Cultures of Peru (Chirapaq), the Centre for Environmental Sustainability Universidad Peruana Cayetano Heredia (CSA-UPCH), amongst others.

Forestry Training Centre in Peru
The Tropical Forest Foundation has launched a fundraising campaign to secure funds to accelerate the development of a training and education centre in Peru.

This centre would focus on how to balance sustainable forest management, demand for wood products, the ecological integrity of the forests and the economic welfare of local communities.

This training centre would, if funds are forthcoming be built in the Amazon region of Madre de Dios an area which has about 350,000 hectares of certified forest.
