Strategy 1:
Conservation mechanisms to
maintain connectivity
© Philipp Kanstinger / WWF

At WWF Peru we work to keep our ecosystems and the species that inhabit them alive. We connect vital spaces and conserve them through innovative solutions under a rights-based approach that promotes a safe planet for all. We are committed to the global roadmap to achieve the 30x30 Target agreed in the Kunming Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework and, in a complementary manner, we seek to contribute to a more efficient and participatory management of Natural Protected Areas within the framework of Peru’s Natural Legacy initiative. 

In Madre de Dios, we encourage the development of responsible and sustainable practices with local and indigenous communities. Also, we promote soil restoration and harmonious coexistence between wildlife and cattle ranchers. For example, the biological corridor of the jaguar, a vital species as an indicator of healthy ecosystems, and we encourage the implementation of the Hydrological Ecosystem Services Compensation Mechanisms.

In San Martin, we support the implementation of a strategic plan to revitalize Lake Sauce, while in Ucayali and Loreto, we closely monitor the conservation areas of river dolphins. Using state-of-the-art technology, such as pingers and acoustic recorders, we take concrete actions to ensure their survival and protect their habitats.

In the Pacific Ocean, we promote critical areas conservation for species such as whales and turtles, reducing bycatch fishing by raising awareness and strengthening fishers' capacities, and encouraging the implementation of technology such as LED lights, pingers, and REM cameras to reduce conflict with their vessels.
