EXPERIENCES ON PROTECTED AREAS OF PERU
Pedro Gamboa, Rudy Valdivia
Overview
Since the first Protected Area (PA)
established in Peru, one of the
main challenges has been
managing the PA´s under
different socio-cultural contexts.
Considering this, the PA authority
in Peru (SERNANP) developed
shared management mechanisms
with diverse kind of stakeholders,
such as Management Contracts
and Special Regime Management
Contracts.

This mechanism initiated in 2006. The
contracts had been made with nonprofit organizations that assume the
responsibility for achieving one or more
results, important to accomplish goals
of a PA. The contract can involve any
area of the PA. Funding mechanisms are
responsibility of the Executor of the
management contract. Currently, the
Peru’s Protected Area System has 8
areas with management contracts

Special Regime of management contracts
This mechanism initiated in 2005. This contracts are exclusive for
Communal Reserves. This particular form of contract allows the comanagement between native communities and the National Protected
Area Service (SERNANP). This co-management form take place under
Special Regime, where the native communities are represented by
organizations named ECAs (spanish acronym meaning “Executor of a
management contract”).
Currently, the Peru’s Protected Area System has 9 areas under the Special
Regime of management contracts.

What do we learned about these processes?
Management Contracts in
Protected Areas
The Chief of the ANP should be
maintained as part of SERNANP
to fulfill those duties in the
National Government.
There must be an instance of
participation: Technical Financial
Supervision Commission, where
the President of the Management
Committee participates.
High monitoring and evaluation
based on achievement of results
of contracts are required.
