AB The main drivers of alteration in forest ecosystems of the Brazilian and Peruvian Amazon are destructive extraction of forest products, extensive cattle ranching, slash-and-burn agriculture,mechanized agriculture of grains (in the last decade, in Brazil), and the production of illegal crops (over the last three decades, in Peru). While it is known that smallholders in diverse Amazonian contexts in the two countries conduct numerous experiences contributing to the recovery of degraded lands, insufficient work is devoted to document, analyze and disseminate their results. The Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR), in collaboration with the Brazilian Enterprise for Agricultural Research (EMBRAPA) and the Peruvian Institute for Agricultural Research (INIA), carried out a study to identify local initiatives aiming to the rehabilitation of degraded areas (RDA) in the Amazon, and analyze the main factors affecting their adoption. Through an inventory based on secondary sources (research and educational institutions as well as public and private rural development organizations), a total of 349 initiatives were identified in Brazil, and 40 in Peru, of which 30 and 10 initiatives were respectively selected for field visits and interviews. A number of key informants from institutions responsible for implementation of the initiatives/projects in each country were consulted on the process of technical intervention. Results of the study include: (a) need to further understand biophysical requirements, agronomic or silvicultural management, and the current and/or potential market prospects for the species and productive systems to be promoted; (b) effective participation of rural families (or their representatives) is essential from the onset of the initiative; (c) revalorization of traditional agricultural systems and proper innovations through training and participatory, timely and qualified technical assistance will strengthen capacities of smallholders involved in RDA initiatives; (d) strengthening local organizations is critical to manage resources available for RDA projects; (e) processing and marketing of products from recovered areas is needed to add value to production; (f) producer networks will help families in meeting market demands and strengthen their organization for trade.Keywords: Agroforestry system, Forest species, Management of secondary forest, Rural development, Reforestation, Technology adoption.
