Bosqueros Peru: our non-profit association in the Peruvian Amazon.

We manage a small, no-overheads, non-profit association in Peru which works with indigenous communities and farmers to regenerate and reforest degraded land as well as building local expertise in new forest-friendly non-timber forest products to reduce the motivation to deforest and develop diversified, sustainably income to families and communities.

Context: Arbor Mundi was established as a social enterprise, primarily to generate revenue in support of the people and forest in the Amazon through the activities of our non-profit association, Bosqueros Peru based in the Amazon. The word Bosqueros, we created as a meaning for those that earn a living from the forest and are motivated to protect it.

Activities: Through local partners, we do innovative, no-overhead reforestation and capacity building projects in the Amazon. We don't have the bureaucracy, intermediaries, salaries and fund-raising expenses like the big organizations. 

Projects: We are a new demonstrating small scale project capabilities in order to obtain institutional grant funding for bigger projects, so all support goes a long way in setting us up for bigger scale projects in the future.
