The forest protection project includes two forest concessions in the Vilcabamba Amboró Conservation Corridor of the Peruvian Amazon, which are managed sustainably according to the requirements of the internationally recognized FSC standard.

 

The concessions cover a total of 100,000 hectares, an area larger than the city of Berlin, which is covered by dense rainforest. Effective monitoring of the project area, which prevents illegal immigration and environmentally harmful use, is only possible with additional income from the sale of climate protection certificates.

 

The protected area forms an important buffer zone for the pristine Amazon rainforest, which is one of the most biodiverse habitats on earth.
