CIFOR-ICRAF s’attaque aux défis et aux opportunités locales tout en apportant des solutions aux problèmes mondiaux concernant les forêts, les paysages, les populations et la planète.

Nous fournissons des preuves et des solutions concrètes pour transformer l’utilisation des terres et la production alimentaire : conserver et restaurer les écosystèmes, répondre aux crises mondiales du climat, de la malnutrition, de la biodiversité et de la désertification. En bref, nous améliorons la vie des populations.

CIFOR-ICRAF publie chaque année plus de 750 publications sur l’agroforesterie, les forêts et le changement climatique, la restauration des paysages, les droits, la politique forestière et bien d’autres sujets encore, et ce dans plusieurs langues. .

CIFOR–ICRAF publishes over 750 publications every year on agroforestry, forests and climate change, landscape restoration, rights, forest policy and much more – in multiple languages.

CIFOR–ICRAF addresses local challenges and opportunities while providing solutions to global problems for forests, landscapes, people and the planet.

We deliver actionable evidence and solutions to transform how land is used and how food is produced: conserving and restoring ecosystems, responding to the global climate, malnutrition, biodiversity and desertification crises. In short, improving people’s lives.

Catalysing policy for the conservation of Amazonian peatlands in Peru

Key messages

  • Peatlands are major carbon reservoirs that release massive amounts of greenhouse gas into the atmosphere when disturbed. However, their importance is far from being adequately reflected in global and national climate change mitigation policies.
  • Peru acknowledges the importance of conserving its vast tropical peatlands but needs to enhance internal capacity, establish a regulatory framework, and generate scientific data to protect them effectively.
  • GCS REDD+ scientists working in CIFOR’s Global Comparative Study on REDD+ played a key role in fostering political recognition of peatlands in Peru, by providing new Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification (MRV) data on peatland areas, improving local MRV capabilities, and facilitating the formation of a Peruvian peatland community to safeguard this ecosystem.
  • With assistance from CIFOR scientists, the Government of Peru has established a national definition and regulatory framework for the conservation and sustainable management of peatlands.
  • Sustained political backing is essential for implementing and sustaining the regulatory frameworks for peatlands, along with strategies concerning climate change, water regulation, biodiversity conservation, and local livelihood enhancement.
