While vast stretches of Peru’s Amazon remain vulnerable to deforestation, illegal mining and land grabs, 821,000 hectares of Indigenous-managed forests stand as a testament to the power of community-led conservation<\/strong>. These territories, safeguarded by the Indigenous organisations FENAMAD and CARE with support from RFUK, are significantly better protected than surrounding areas where illegal activities often go unchecked. The success lies in a combination of Indigenous land rights, real-time forest monitoring and legal action – an approach that RFUK is deepening in 2025 through renewed commitments to our partners.<\/p>\r\n

FENAMAD: expanding rights-based climate solutions<\/h5>\r\n

In the Madre de Dios region, one of the most biodiverse yet threatened parts of the Amazon, the Federaci\u00f3n Nativa del R\u00edo Madre de Dios y Afluentes (FENAMAD)<\/strong> represents 38 communities at the forefront of territorial defence. Through its partnership with RFUK, FENAMAD uses cutting-edge technology like ForestLink<\/a>, our real-time forest monitoring system, to detect and report illegal activities that threaten their lands.<\/p>\r\n

In contrast to neighbouring areas where deforestation and land grabs often go unchallenged, FENAMAD communities have successfully combined technology with legal strategies to deter environmental crime.<\/p>\r\n

The forests managed by FENAMAD and CARE are far better preserved than many surrounding areas, where deforestation rates are higher due to weak governance and external exploitation. Indigenous stewardship has proven to be one of the most effective conservation strategies, with legally titled lands acting as a strong deterrent to illegal logging, mining and land grabs.<\/em><\/h6>\r\n

In 2025, RFUK’s partnership with FENAMAD will scale up these efforts by:<\/p>\r\n
