A.2. Project / Programme Executive Summary (max 300 words)<br />
The project seeks to enhance the resilience capacity of the indigenous communities living in the rich carbon stock<br />
wetland ecosystem in the Province of Datem del Marañón (PDM) in the Region 1 of Loreto, Peru, improve their<br />
livelihoods and to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from deforestation. The target population is primarily lowincome<br />
indigenous peoples from seven ethnic groups. The project aims to create social capital and agreed plans to<br />
entrust the management of the natural resource base to the indigenous communities.<br />
The proposed activities seek to: (a) facilitate the participatory preparation of land-use and operational management<br />
plans; (b) entrust natural resources management to indigenous communities and empower women in the decisionmaking<br />
process; and (c) strengthen and expand commercially viable and sustainable bio-businesses of non-timber<br />
forest products. All activities foster empowerment and community ownership, improve livelihoods, enhance learning<br />
opportunities, and consolidate indigenous peoples’ basic rights. All the proposed activities are community-based<br />
adaptation and climate change mitigation good practices, which are complemented by strong monitoring and evaluation<br />
systems. The project includes a science and technology component to enhance the knowledge base in order to guide<br />
future activities aimed at preserving the carbon stock and enhancing community well-being.<br />
The total carbon stock in the swamps of Datem del Marañón is estimated at around 3,780 million tonnes of carbon<br />
dioxide equivalent (Mt CO2 eq). Based on data provided by MINAM, a deforestation reference scenario for the project<br />
area was defined as the average of the last 10 years of observation. The estimated avoided deforestation over a 10-<br />
year period amounts to 140.6 hectares (ha) of aguajales (palm swamp forest) and 4,720 ha of terra firma forests,<br />
equivalent to 2.63 Mt CO2 eq.<br />
Climate change is expected to have profound impacts on forest and swamp ecosystems, with more frequent droughts<br />
and changes in primary productivity affecting peoples and ecosystems.<br />
