Biodiversity<\/p>\n<\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

The Yanayacu Maquia project initiated in 2006 by the Franco-Peruvian association Biodiversity Amazonia, has been supported by Envol Vert since 2018. Its main objective is to preserve sustainably an area of around 100 000 acres of virgin forest in the heart of the Peruvian Amazon in partnership with the local communities. Envol Vert withdrew from the project at the end of 2023 after more than 5 years of support. <\/span> <\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n<\/div>

The territory of the Yanayacu-Maquia<\/strong>\u00a0concession, located in the heart of the Amazon and very difficult to access, is of exceptional ecological wealth. It is still “well preserved” thanks to the work of the association with the local communities and the vigilance of the park rangers.<\/p>\n

Local communities have access to extremely basic health and education conditions. They depend mainly on forest resources for their livelihood. However, the territory and its surroundings where the communities live face increasing pressures and threats generated by illegal activities in the area: deforestation and habitat degradation, hunting of protected species, overfishing and non-selective fishing, unsustainable agricultural practices, and various forms of pollution. These unsustainable resource exploitation practices further weaken the living conditions of the populations and the sustainability of the area’s natural resources.<\/p>\n

To respond to this, Green Takeoff and Amazonian Biodiversity, with the support of their technical and financial partners, have set up an ambitious action plan to work in the long term with the communities around 3 main axes: vigilance and scientific research, the development of economic alternatives from forest products as well as the implementation of sustainable agricultural practices.<\/p>\n<\/div>
