In the heart of the Peruvian Amazon, natural and cultural wealth coexist in harmony. In this context, sustainable ecotourism is seen as a promising economic alternative in a dynamic region rich in nature-related activities. This approach helps to conserve forests while generating income for local communities, encouraging their active participation and respecting the environment.

Ecotourism is a strategic tool to strengthen collective conservation, territorial knowledge, and the cultural identity of Amazonian communities.

Participation in the International Forum “Green Innovation”

On May 9, 2025, we participated in the International Forum “Green Innovation for the Sustainable Tourism Development in the Huánuco Region”, organized to celebrate the 60th anniversary of Tingo María National Park. The event was coordinated by DIRCETUR and its strategic partners.The following topics were discussed at the forum:

  • Community-based and immersive ecotourism in protected areas (Ministry of Foreign Trade and TourismMINCETUR).
  • Bio-businesses and sustainable value chains: feedback on coffee commercialization in protected areas of Honduras (SwissContact Honduras).
  • Environmental education and empowerment of local communities (National Agrarian University of the Selva – UNAS).
  • Technological innovation for sustainable rural development (College of Tourism Graduates, Peru).

We also participated in the panel on Participatory Management of Conservation, in order to present the ConBosque project.

The forum brought together 55 participants, including specialists, local authorities, and organizations involved in promoting responsible tourism in protected natural areas. Collaboration between institutions, local actors and organizations is essential to identify concrete opportunities and move toward a greener and more inclusive economy.

Next Steps

The following next steps are envisaged:

  • Developing pilot eco-tourism routes in strategic areas.
  • Strengthening knowledge of local flora and fauna through naturalist monitoring in order to generate more pride and a sense of connection to the territory.
  • Training communities in public speaking and tourist hospitality.
  • Supporting interested communities in developing this economic alternative.

Envol Vert will continue to promote spaces for dialogue, training sessions, and collective action to move toward integrative forest management—working in collaboration with those who live in and protect the forests. Our participation helped highlight the value of ecotourism as a powerful opportunity to conserve forests and biodiversity, while promoting essential multi-actors dialogue to create partnerships and synergies.
