Project Grant
Overview
Grant Description
The purpose of this project is to reduce threats to the Andean bear, which include the conversion of forests into land for the cultivation of coca and the illegal killing of bears due to perceived conflicts with human populations or for illegal trafficking of live specimens, parts or pieces.
The Andean bear is listed as vulnerable in the IUCN Red List and is included in Appendix I of CITES.
Specific project activities include:
1. Entering into conservation agreements with coffee growers in the Sandia Valley for the conservation of key Andean bear habitat, while supporting the improvement of the coffee plantation productivity and quality.
2. Strengthening local forest and wildlife authorities to implement strategic interventions to reduce the killing of bears for the purpose of trafficking cubs, parts or pieces for shamanism or other uses.
3. Supporting local communities in their role as stewards of the Andean bear, its habitat, and biodiversity.
This project contributes to the implementation of the National Bear Conservation Plan 2016-2026, the National Strategy to Combat Wildlife Trafficking 2017-2027, and the National Plan for the Prevention and Control of Conflicts between Humans and Wildlife 2019-2029 approved by the Peruvian government.
