CI Conservation International began its work in Peru, also in 1987. We are a multidisciplinary team of professionals who work with local partners and conduct studies biological and socioeconomic in constant contact with state institutions with responsibilities in the management of biodiversity, with universities, local people, their associations and institutions, to develop participatory planning processes for local development and biodiversity conservation biological.

Conservation Corridor-Amboró Vilcabamba, VSS (Peru - Bolivia)
This corridor is a strategy to conserve one of the biológicamentemás diverse planet, the Tropical Andes Region. Dehectáreas 30 million, will from the Cordillera Vilcabamba in Peru to NacionalAmboró Park in Bolivia, forming a chain in the core area of \u200b\u200b19 protegidasque areas contribute to the survival of thousands of species.
Within the VSS, our projects include research, Establishment of management plans for wildlife, conservation of chestnut trees, agroforestry training, promotion of organic coffee production under shade yfortalecimiento local institutions and associations committed to laconservación and sustainable development. We come
supporting institutions in the management of protected areas within the VSS, promoting development sustainable by strengthening local capacity for conservation management and monitoring BIOLOGICAL DIVERSITY, sustainable economic initiatives (handicrafts, medicinal plants) and promoting environmental education and multiculturalism.

Condor Conservation Corridor-Abiseo-Kutukú, CCACK (Ecuador - Peru)
Condor Conservation Corridor - Abiseo - Kutukú (CCACK) is a planning tool and helps integrate the management of natural areas with their socio-economic, political and cultural creating a new opportunity for integration between Peru and Ecuador.
In August 2007, after long years of work in the area, the statement did Ichigkat Muja National Park - Cordillera del Condor, in the CCACK, thus protecting a valuable sector of the unique ecosystem of the mountain forests of the Cordillera Real of the eastern Andes, which also means the partial protection of one of the most important water systems in the Amazon basin and the sacred ancestral territory of high cultural value for people and Wampis Awajún.

CI has been working with different partners in the conservation of biodiversity and l to sustainable use of sustainable resources in areas outside the corridors identified as priorities for conservation. Some of the areas include the conservation of high Andean forests in the South Corridor Conchucos in Ancash, the management of community forests in the Valley Pichis - Central Selva, Alnorte the VSS, as well as specific issues such as endangered species ecotourism and marine coastal areas.
Working in Strategic Alliance
office in Peru has also prioritized the establishment of links with the private sector involved in strategies for social and environmental responsibility in order to contribute to the country's sustainable development while preserving their natural resources. At the same time promoting business opportunities for micro-enterprises in the buffer zones of protected areas in areas where we work.
Conservation Corridors in Vilcabamba - Amboró Abiseo-Condor-Kutukú, in order to ensure connectivity and contributing to the natural distribution of species, working with Peruvian civil society to design and implement management plans and ensure coordinating sustainable development activities within the corridors. An example is the joint work carried out CI and its partners in promoting sustainable development plan that seeks to mitigate conservation indirect impacts of the construction of the Inter-Oceanic Highway South on the populations of flora and fauna.

Working with communities
CI-Peru has worked with indigenous communities in the buffer zones, for example, with the native community of Infierno Ese'eja to establish management plans for sustainable hunting that help endangered species populations are re-established. It also led a participatory process that led to the proposed establishment of the National Park Ichigkat Muja - Cordillera del Condor in consultation with indigenous communities and Wampis Awajún, as was Santiago Comaina Reserved Zone.
