Madre de Dios Amazon REDD+ Project

The Madre De Dios Amazon REDD Project is located in the region that belongs to the Vilcabamba-Amboró Conservation Corridor in the Peruvian Amazon, one of the world biodiversity hotspots. The Project Area consists of two logging concessions with a combined area of 98,932 hectares. In the absence of the project these concessions are subject to frontier deforestation risk from new inter-oceanic Highway that unites Brazil with the Peruvian ports.
