SUMMARY

This project proposal stems from the increasing importance of bamboo in Peru as a result of the characteristics and properties of this resource, making it suitable for a wide variety of uses, particularly in the restoration or rehabilitation of degraded forest lands, the construction of housing and other seismic-resistant infrastructure, and the manufacturing of furniture, crafts, food and other products of significance for rural and urban development in the Peruvian tropical forests and coastal areas. This proposal has been developed in response to a request from leaders, local governments and beneficiaries from the San Martin and Amazonas regions after the successful implementation of Project PD 428/06 Rev.1 (F), as well as the interest expressed by many native community organizations and other local stakeholders, particularly native communities and settlers living in poverty, who in the final stage of that project became aware of the qualities and benefits of bamboo but require specialized technical support to continue or initiate the management of natural forests, the rehabilitation and restoration of deforested lands and ecosystems through bamboo plantations in agroforestry systems, and the value-added processing of bamboo canes, so as to consolidate the use of bamboo as a sustainable socioeconomic development alternative in these departments and their area of influence. The project objectives are as follows:

Development objective: Reduce the degradation of tropical bamboo forests and improve the living standards of poor local communities in the northern forest region of Peru.

Specific objective: Rehabilitate degraded forest lands, reforest and add value to natural bamboo stands under sustainable forest management, and train users for the development of production chains so as to improve the socioeconomic and environmental living standards of the population living in poverty in the project’s area of influence.

PART 1. PROJECT CONTEXT 1.1 Origin This project proposal arises from the increasing importance of bamboo (mainly Guadua angustifolia), a non-timber forest resource (ITTA 2006) which, because of its great versatility for various uses, particularly in the rehabilitation of degraded forest lands on mountain slopes and foothills, building of housing, schools, health care centers, and furniture, crafts and other products in both rural and urban areas of the Peruvian tropical forests and coastal areas. Furthermore, the proposal has been developed after the successful experiences with plantations, management of bamboo forest stands, mechanical processing and training of users, developed through Project PD 428/06 Rev.1 (F): “Promoting the Rehabilitation, Management and Sustainable Use of Tropical Bamboo Forests in the North-Western Region of Peru”, which was recently completed. The previous project was implemented in the Districts of Amazonas and San Martin, which currently have the highest annual deforestation rate at the national level, particularly in the upper and middle sections of the watersheds where the main affluents of the Marañón River (main tributary of the Amazon River) originate. The activities and outcomes of project PD 428/06 Rev.1 (F) have been very important for the design of this project proposal, thanks to the detailed information collected on the geographic location, the active involvement of local (mainly native) communities, local and regional authorities and professionals. who have positively motivated the local communities within and outside the area of influence of project PD 428/06 Rev. 1 (F). Thus, it was requested to extend such project interventions so as to consolidate implemented actions in Aramango, and strengthen both technical and business capacities in the other districts so as to improve the living standards of the communities with a development alternative of great potential in these areas of the Peruvian Amazon region. The most significant outcomes of project PD 428/06 Rev. 1 (F) include: ·

Taxonomy identification of biotypes of Guadua angustifolia (through molecular markers) and other species of native and exotic bamboos found in the area of the project.

Signature of Special Agreements with the Regional Governments of Amazonas and San Martin and with the local governments of Aramango and Imaza in Amazonas, and Yantaló, Jepelacio and Pinto Recodo in San Martín.

Establishment and operation of nurseries for the propagation of seedlings in Calzada, Yantaló, CCNN Shampuyacu, Saposoa and Pinto Recodo/Lamas in San Martín and in Aramango and Chiriaco/Imaza, in Amazonas.

A total of 14 theoretical-practical workshops for the training of 300 beneficiaries in vegetative propagation techniques, establishment of plantations and bamboo production forest management; training of technical personnel and 20 beneficiaries in basic bamboo building techniques; and training of technical personnel and 50 beneficiaries in bamboo furniture manufacturing techniques.

Construction and equipping of the Bamboo Craft Mini-Centre - MINCABAMBOO (350 m2) inaugurated in Aramango, Amazonas, by the Ambassador of Japan in Peru, Mr. Suichiro Megata and the Minister for the Environment of Peru, Dr. Antonio Brack Egg.

Establishment of 246.41 hectares of bamboo plantations in agroforestry systems, in Aramango and Imaza in Amazonas and Moyobamba (Yantaló, Calzada, Rioja, Jepelacio), San Martín, Saposoa and Lamas (Pinto Recodo).

Development and formalization of the Association of Bamboo Producers Río Marañon – Aramango.

Dissemination in specialised journals and other print, television and radio media, as well as participation in national and regional trade fairs (Expoamazónica, Feria Agrícola de Bagua, Calzada, etc.).

Study of physical-mechanical properties of bamboo of the Guadua angustifolia species from forests in Alto Mayo and Aramango, in the departments of San Martín and Amazonas respectively, under an agreement with the Ministry of Housing, Construction and Health – MVCS.

1.2 RELEVANCE It is on the basis of the outcomes and the important lessons learned through other ITTO projects as well as the experiences of other countries and the knowledge acquired by PERUBAMBU in China over the years, that it has been possible to accumulate information on the potential of this resource to make an important and significant contribution to the economy of the project target areas, so that when the project is completed there is a critical bio-physical and technological mass, as well as infrastructure for processing, markets and adequately trained users, that will help generate future self-sufficiency for the bamboo development program in the northern forests of the country, thus becoming a major job creator to generate significant levels of income, with major enhancement of user family finances, which will have an appreciable impact on the GDP of project areas. There is now a need to continue the implementation of significant work for the development of bamboo harvesting, processing and utilization models and techniques using native species. In addition, it is necessary to support the local communities in other provinces of both departments to ensure their training, organization and regularization for their sustainable involvement as active members of the bamboo production chain, which requires greater attention to guarantee its consolidation. The implementation of this bamboo project becomes particularly important when considering that the provinces in the departments of Amazonas and San Martin where the project will be implemented have the highest deforestation rates in the country (with over 40% of the original forest area already lost), high poverty rates (40 to 60% poverty and 15 to 20% extreme poverty), an alarming increase in illegal logging due to land use changes (9.6-9.9% increase in the area deforested for rice field development), low productivity free-range grazing, subsistence shifting agriculture in degraded forest lands (especially in the provinces of Bagua and Central Huallaga) and a shortage of water resources. The project will significantly contribute to the rehabilitation of degraded forest lands and the sustainable development of surrounding rural communities, which is being promoted through fruit, coffee and cacao crops, but with the added advantage that bamboo resources are already present in the area, the local climate conditions in these ecosystems are ideal and there is widespread interest from national, regional and local authorities, local communities and financial sources such as the Agrarian Bank. It should also be considered that no major investment is required in the short term for its establishment, while geo-political, technical and environmental conditions are suitable for the development of native communities, whose ancestral knowledge should be built on to continue strengthening their involvement in the sustainable development of these departments. It is also important to point out that bamboo forests produce 35% more oxygen, capture 50% to 100% more carbon, and store 30% to 60% more cellulose than most timber tree species (INBAR 2011), which is significant in the context of climate change. 1.2.1 Conformity with ITTO's policies This project is consistent with the overall objectives set out in the ITTA 2006 as follows: Promote the expansion and diversification of international trade in tropical timber from sustainably managed and legally harvested forests and to promote the sustainable management of tropical timber producing forests. In this respect, the project constitutes a very clear and objective expansion and diversification of forest management and trade, since it is based on the management, processing and marketing of non-traditional products from Latin America where almost 100% of the forest product trade involves timber in the form of logs, sawnwood, boards, flooring, etc. Therefore, bamboo is an important NTFP, because it contains wood substance and can be marketed in the form of plywood and laminated products with potential for reaching significant volumes in the overall trade, such as is the case in China, where bamboo trade has increased from US$0.6 billion in 1990 to US$12.7 billion in 2011. Currently Peru is not using commercially and sustainably even 5% of its current natural bamboo resources. In particular, the project is consistent with the following ITTO objectives:

1. It is fully consistent with objective c in that it alleviates poverty through alternative economic activities other than forest logging, and provides significant income sources for low-income families.

2. The same goes for objective d in that it strengthens the capacity of users of forest goods and services to implement strategies that encourage exports of timber and non-timber products from sustainably managed forest resources.

7

3. The project also contributes to objective g in that it will develop mechanisms to provide new and

additional financial resources to promote sufficient and predictable funding and specialised technical expertise required to build the capacity of producer members.

4. It contributes to objective i in that it promotes increased and further processing of tropical timber from sustainable sources in producer member countries, with a view to promoting their industrialization and thereby increasing their employment opportunities and export earnings. These two objectives were highlighted in discussions and agreements during the 48th ITTO Council Session.

5. The project is innovative and fosters promising activities in the forest sector. Therefore it contributes to objective m in that it encourages the development of national policies aimed at sustainable utilization and conservation of timber producing forests, particularly moist montane forests.

6. It is consistent with objective r in that it encourages the recognition of the role of forest-dependent indigenous and local communities in achieving sustainable forest management and the development of strategies to enhance the capacity of these communities to sustainably manage tropical forests that produce timber or non-timber forest products that, as is the case with bamboo, have the required anatomical and structural properties to be used for timber applications.

In particular, this project is fully consistent with the ITTO Guidelines for the Restoration, Management and Rehabilitation of Degraded and Secondary Tropical Forests, including the following activities: 1) Incorporate degraded and secondary forests into land-use planning at the micro and macro scales; 2) Establish integrated land-use plans that reflect an appropriate balance between environmental and socio-economic needs; 3) Promote the conservation and sustainable production of bamboo forests; 4) Explore options for restoration and rehabilitation using bamboo before allocating degraded and secondary forests to non-forest uses. Degraded and secondary forests will be addressed as the focus of this project, proposing their restoration and sustainable management as a strategy for the rehabilitation of the rural landscape through reforestation using bamboo, which has proven to be highly efficient in environmental and economic terms. The project will particularly consider the following principles: Principle 1: Degraded and secondary forests need to be seen as integral parts of the rural tropical landscape that are affected by off-site conditions. Restored primary forests, managed secondary forests and rehabilitated forests lands can provide numerous benefits and services to society through the following activities:

Incorporate degraded and secondary forests into land-use planning at the micro and macro scales.

Establish integrated land-use plan that reflect an appropriate balance between conservation, production and sustainable livelihood needs from forests.

Explore options for restoration and rehabilitation before allocating degraded and secondary forests to non-forest uses.

This project will precisely focus on considering and incorporating secondary and degraded forests as a core issue, proposing their restoration and sustained management as a strategy for rural landscape rehabilitation through reforestation with bamboo species, which have proven to be highly efficient in environmental and economic terms. Principle 5: Secure land tenure, land-user access, customary rights and property rights are fundamental to the restoration, management and rehabilitation of degraded and secondary forests. The project will identify, develop and evaluate a sustainable management plan for 1,500 hectares, which will later be listed in a registry of forest lands under customary holding and/or traditional ownership.

Principle 5: Secure land tenure, land-user access, customary rights and property rights are fundamental to the restoration, management and rehabilitation of degraded and secondary forests.

Principle 8: Local communities and stakeholders actively participate in and share the responsibility for decision-making in planning and implementing restoration, management and rehabilitation strategies.

Principle 11: The appropriate land-use option for a given site needs to be chosen carefully. 1.2.2 Relevance to sectoral policies The Peruvian Government promotes the sustainable use of forest resources and their artisanal and industrial processing, particularly where such activities are directed at generating more jobs and at sustainable socio-economic development of low-income rural communities. However, more financial and technological resources are required to ensure that bamboo rehabilitation, management and sustainable use have a significant socio-economic and environmental impact, to consolidate the understanding of specific techniques for artisan and/or industrial bamboo development in these regions and to benefit the neediest sectors of the population. Currently there are many timber-producing forest concessions that include areas with major concentrations of bamboo but, unfortunately, they are not utilized appropriately because of the lack of forest concession-holder and local community expertise in management techniques for the utilisation of timber and non-timber resources including bamboo for which there is a growing demand; and the local population utilises these resources incorrectly, thus threatening the sustainability of the forests in which they are located. Increasingly over the past few years construction of high-middle class housing has included bamboo as a structural and decorative component; this very important mechanism should be used to promote bamboo resources and their inclusion in low-priced seismic-resistant housing programs. This is particularly important for a country such as Peru, which is located in the “Pacific Ring of Fire”, the reason why the use of bamboo in the construction of two-storey residences was compulsory in the 17th century. The Government's current policy prioritizes the construction of low-priced housing. Currently in Peru there is a deficit of approximately 1.9 million quality houses, of which approximately 500,000 are needed in the rural area, and no fewer than 75,000 for the target departments of the project; of these it is estimated that 30% could be built with material sourced within the region, including timber and bamboo. Domestic market demand requires supplies that need to be imported from Ecuador: over US$1.5 million worth of “caña guayaquil” (Guadua angustifolia) and smaller volumes of Chusquea coleou from Chile. In both cases supply is subject to availability and quality of the resource in the country of origin, with variable outcomes when used in construction and production of quality furniture, which has a negative impact on business development in the country. Bamboo products are increasingly in demand in global markets in developed countries and will have free access to the United States, the European Union and possibly Japan under Free Trade Agreements (FTAs). In this respect, the country’s large areas under native and introduced bamboo stands, both in natural and planted forests, are important because of their significant potential for the nation's sustainable economic development. Over the last decade, the Government of Peru has given special priority to the sustainable management of tropical forests in consonance with ITTO’s Objective 2000, incorporating in its Agenda 21 and national policies the commitment to establish mechanisms aimed at ensuring the sustainable development of rural communities through forest concessions and permits for the integrated utilization of forest resources under management plans, as well as the promotion of afforestation and reforestation with timber and non-timber species for rehabilitation and land-use change in degraded areas. All of this is established in SD No. 003-2005-AG, stressing the importance of reforestation, and SR No. 002-2006-AG, approving the National Reforestation Plan. Existing policies and legislation directly related to forest products such as bamboo are quite extensive regarding their management, harvesting and processing. Forestry and Wildlife Law No. 27308 (LFFS) stipulates that forest resources are publicly owned and its regulations establish standards for their conservation and harvesting, and for the processing and marketing of by-products. According to Article 7 of the LFFS, forest resources at their source and both forested and unforested State-owned lands that are mainly suitable for forestry, are all part of the

National Forest Heritage. They cannot be used for agricultural purposes or any other activities that may affect the vegetation cover and the sustainable use and conservation of forest resources, regardless of their location in the national territory, unless otherwise stated by the law and its regulations. In this respect, the need for a National Plan for Deforestation Prevention and Control in the Amazon Region was established. An important element of this Plan is the rehabilitation and management of protected, deforested and degraded areas, which are increasing in the high forest region of the north-west of the country. In this context, bamboo resources have a significant potential to contribute to the achievement of these objectives. Since bamboo is a NTFP, a permit from the relevant authority is required for its harvesting and utilization. Reference is also made to forest product processing plants, which use, as their main raw material, forest products that are harvested in their natural state from primary forests or plantations. The implementation of these policies and regulations is based on the concept of sustainable use of resources1 and on the recognition that these resources provide economic benefits to the communities that use them. Policies for the internal regulation and control and international trade in bamboo products are established by S.D. No. 068-91-EF, which stipulates the total liberalization of foreign trade operations, as well as SUNAT Resolution No. 1005 91-93, approving the manual of automated procedures for the Exports Regime. The most significant legal instruments in this field, in order of importance, are as follows: 1. Political Constitution of Peru: establishes that renewable and non-renewable natural resources are part of the national heritage and it is the responsibility of the State to promote their preservation, conservation and rational and efficient management. 2. Environmental Code: establishes that both companies and individuals are required to use appropriate technologies; encourages the use of environmentally-friendly traditional technologies; promotes the conservation and use of genetic resources in their environment; and states the obligation of public and private institutions to promote and support technological research and development to assess the potential of natural resources and ensure their sustainable utilization. 3. Organic Law for Sustainable Natural Resource Utilization No. 26821: regulates the sustainable natural resource use regime, establishing the conditions and modalities of access for individual users. 4. Biodiversity Conservation and Sustainable Use Law No. 26839: regulates the conservation of biodiversity and the sustainable use of its components in accordance with Article 68 of the Political Constitution of Peru. All principles and definitions of the Convention on Biological Diversity are applied within the scope of this law. 5. Forestry and Wildlife Law (No. 27308) – of 15 July 2000, recognizes and regulates management practices for the utilization of forest resources and promotes reforestation, afforestation and rehabilitation of degraded ecosystems with species that may contribute to the sustainable socioeconomic development of local communities, particularly in the struggle to alleviate poverty. 6. Regulations of the Forestry and Wildlife Law (SD No. 014-2001-AG): promote sustainable utilisation, afforestation and reforestation, and processing and marketing of forest resources. 7. National Reforestation Plan (SR No. 002-2006-AG): aimed at promoting forest plantations with timber and non-timber resources at the national level. Projects or activities such as this proposal contribute to the sustainable management and use of products that can replace timber and other products from non-renewable sources involving land-use changes with significant CO2 emissions into the atmosphere. Over the last decade, the Government of Peru has given special priority to the sustainable management of tropical forests in consonance with ITTO’s Objective 2000, incorporating in its agenda and national policies the commitment to establish mechanisms aimed at ensuring the sustainable development of rural communities, which can be significantly strengthened by inclusive socioeconomic policies, especially for the inclusion of native rural communities such as those settled in the target area of this project.

1 Regulations relating to bamboo need to be developed.

10

SD No. 004-2008-AG promotes “caña brava” and bamboo plantations while SD No. 011-2012-VIVIENDA approves Technical Standard E-100 for bamboo designs and construction. This legal framework reflects the commitment of the National Government to promote this important non-timber forest resource for the rehabilitation of deforested lands and for its use in government-funded construction works. The Government of Peru has taken special interest in the promotion of bamboo, and PERUBAMBU has been designated by the National Council of Science and Technology – CONCYTEC as the private agency in charge of promoting bamboo research and technological innovation. 1.3 TARGET AREA 1.3.1 Geographic location The project’s direct area of influence will be the province of Bagua in the Department of Amazonas, and the provinces of Moyobamba, Lamas, Central Huallaga and Tocache in San Martin. The Amazonas Department is located in the northern part of the country. It borders with the Departments of Cajamarca to the west, with La Libertad and San Martin to the south, with Loreto to the east and with the Republic of Ecuador to the north. It covers an area of 39,200 Km2 of rugged terrain that is mostly covered by the Amazonia, with some high altitude areas to the south, where the capital city of the Department, Chachapoyas, is located at an altitude of 2,335 m.a.s.l. The department of Amazonas has a high rate of ecosystem diversity in terms of types of vegetation or forest, given that it covers rough country in the west to flats or low-lying terraces in the east. The District of Imaza in the Bagua Province is home to many native communities that coexist in harmony with the mestizo populations. The Chayu Naim Community Reserve was established in 2009, in an area adjacent to 11 native communities (Chachuyaku, Kadka, Sawientsa, Chayu Atunsamu, Tuntuam, Alto Wawas, Wawas, Uyuentsa, Shushug, Pakui and Nayumpin), who make up the so called Administration Contract Executor (ACE), responsible for the conservation of this important natural protected area. PERUBAMBU and the ACE coordinate joint activities aimed at the rehabilitation of degraded forest areas belonging to the native communities using bamboo and other forest species, but they require additional financial resources to ensure the sustainability of these interventions. A major part of existing natural forests are highly deforested (Annex 5) due to human pressures arising from the different activities being implemented in these forests. In particular, this has affected the areas accessible by road, with an estimated area of 1,120,782 hectares, or 28.25% of the region, and 33% of the original forest area, with the most affected areas being located in the southern region. There are still abundant natural forests in the northern region, as they are protected by the native communities of the Awajun or Aguaruna and Wampis or Huambisa ethnic groups; in natural protected areas; and in areas of rugged mountainous topography, which are characteristic of this region. The Department of San Martin includes the Amazon lands of the middle and lower Huallaga River basin areas, and it borders to the east with Loreto and to the west with Amazonas and La Libertad. Thirty percent (30%) of the area of this department is deforested, with over 1.3 million hectares of forests already logged; the annual deforestation rate is the highest in the country (Annex 5).. A total of 1,125,000 hectares of forests are under concession, predominantly small concessions (ranging from 5 to 10 thousand hectares). Most have a high percentage of forests in protected lands because of the high gradient and lack of access, which cause serious problems for logging operations. The terrain is rough, with high gradient hills and mountains, and waterways or rivers that are mostly not fit for floating logs; therefore, most forest logging is done by road. This causes deforestation problems, since small farmers take advantage of access roads opened by concession holders or forest operators to settle along the roads. Thus, forest operators become deforestation contributors or agents.

1.3.2 Social, cultural, economic and environmental aspects The direct area of influence of the project has been identified after duly taking into account, in addition to the existence of natural bamboo formations and plantations in different areas of the local departments, the cultural, social and economic characteristics of this region (Table No. 1), as well as the relatively high percentage of the population in relation to the national total, which stands at 20% (5,580,797 inhabitants), and has a high percentage of the population classified as poor (3´476,978 inhabitants = 62% = 32.5% poor + 29.5% extremely poor). The gender and age composition of the population is as follows: almost 50% of the total population are women and 37% of the population is under 18 years of age and live primarily in rural areas. There are approximately 146 legally recognized native communities in the project area, belonging to the Aguaruna Huambisa (Jíbaros) ethnic group. Most of these communities are located in the Department of Amazonas and to a lesser extent in the Department of San Martin. The most important economic activities in the area are shifting agriculture and the utilization of renewable natural resources, especially timber and wildlife resources. The shifting agricultural practices used in the area are one of the major causes of high deforestation rates, particularly in the tropical hill and mountain forests of the watershed areas of the Marañón, Huallaga and Santiago rivers. This is a complementary activity and is mainly carried out for self-consumption purposes. It is carried out in the rainy season, during the first four months of the year. The average cover of this seasonal crops is 2 - 10 hectares per household, depending on the number of members in the family unit and their capacity to improve crops, since all the members of the family share the burden of tending their crops. Different families collaborate in different ways, including loans of tools and agricultural implements. The Departments with the highest poverty levels are Amazonas (70.5%) and San Martin (62.9%), with average monthly incomes of US$ 113 and US$ 156 for rural and urban workers respectively. Most of the population lacks sewage disposal services (> 65%) and almost half the population (>40%) does not have access to drinking water provided by public water systems. The department has an average infant mortality rate of 4% (children under one year of age).

Province of Bagua in Amazonas is significantly higher in rural areas, as is the level of poverty of the population, mainly native communities of the Awajun ethnic group.

Figure 1. Rural and urban populations divided by gender in the districts of Aramango and Imaza, Amazonas

All proposed provinces in both San Martin and Amazonas are connected through a road network and other recently built facilities, thus ensuring easy access to and smooth communication with a large number of rural dwellers, native communities and small farmers, among others, who are interested in participating in the production chains for the sustainable utilization and processing of bamboo. For example, the road towards the Pacific Ocean is linked to the Pan-American and Central Highways, as well as to the city of Yurimaguas, the point of connection between the Amazon River and the Atlantic Ocean. However, the environmental impact caused by the development of this important road network has been very high as it has also promoted an increase in illegal logging activities (including in natural protected areas), informal and illegal mining and shifting agricultural practices, all of which requires immediate action as requested by local communities and authorities, who want to preserve their ecosystems and avoid the rapidly increasing impacts of deforestation, desertification and climate change. Considering the very low productivity of forest soils in moist tropical zones and the lack of technical expertise for their management and the cultivation of agricultural crops, as well as the lack of sufficient technical knowledge and financial resources to improve them, the average annual production currently is of the order of 600 to 800 kg of maize or rice per hectare for a family plot of 2 to 3 hectares in the forest; this is mostly for home consumption (300 to 400 kg/person/year), so there is little left over to be sold at the very low prices paid on the local market. However, one hectare of bamboo can produce ten times this level of income.

Bamboo is a plant that adapts to innumerable types of production ecosystems, whether in pure stands or in association with other crops, pasturelands and even trees. It has thus proven to be highly efficient in agroforestry systems such as those that have been trialed in project PD 428/06 Rev.2 (F), where it was associated with crops such as cassava, fruit trees (pineapple, papaya) and other typical species of the high and low tropical forests of the Peruvian Amazon region. Bamboo fits in well with family or small and medium-size farm work; it produces high yield rates per hectare on marginal soils and, therefore, does not compete with other agricultural or forest products. Furthermore, it contributes to the production, processing and marketing phases of partnership work; in Peru almost 100% of production is found in small plots and producers. It is estimated that there are over 1,000 families currently involved directly or indirectly in the bamboo production chain (most own 1.0 to 10.0 hectares of land), and this activity complements other family activities or income of bamboo stand owners. Over 1,250 species of bamboo have been identified globally, with the Asian and American continents recording the highest diversity of species of these mostly giant grasses. In America there are some 440 species of bamboo, the most important being in the genus Guadua spp., with approximately 16 species. Each country has its own common names for bamboo: “caña” in Ecuador, “marona, guayaquil or paca” in Peru, “tacuarembó” in Bolivia, “tacuara” in Argentina, “tacoba” in Brazil, “tacuaruzú” in Paraguay, “guafa” in Venezuela and “guadua” in Colombia. Small clusters of the endangered Guadua weberbauri species have been identified in the Department of San Martin, Province of Moyobamba, District of Jepelacio and, in conjunction with the Local Government, a joint management and conservation program has been launched for the protection of these clusters. Primary forests of Guadua angustifolia, found in some native community areas of the Moyobamba and Rioja provinces, are being rapidly exploited by intermediaries. However, Project PD 428 Rev.2(F) formulated and implemented a Management Plan for the sustainable harvesting of this species. Greater efforts are required to avoid the loss of important forest areas to agricultural development in a department that is predominantly suitable for forestry uses. The native and introduced species that have been developed in the project area and have shown the greatest potential include: Guadua sarcocarpa spp purpurea, Guadua weberbaueri, Chusquea sp. Neurolepsis weberbaueri, Rhipidocladium racemiflorum, Dendrocalamus asper, Bambusa vulgaris and Bambusa tulda. The Global Partnership Program2 of Non Timber Forest Products for the basic development of Rural Communities based on economically, socially and environmentally sustainable solutions considers that bamboo is the second out of the ten (10) most important non-timber forest products that, due to their potential for alleviating poverty in the world, require the highest possible financial support. Cultivation, management and harvesting of bamboo are an environmentally friendly endeavour that contributes to the rehabilitation of forest landscapes and improves soil condition; they encourage biodiversity, and do not require pesticides or chemical fertilizers. Bamboo stems and shoots are harvested manually with systems that have no impact on the remaining stand or natural regeneration,

and it can generate significant volumes of biomass and capture carbon at very low costs. Bamboo protects the soil from erosion in high gradient slopes, thanks to its large root system. The information gained from progress in bamboo management and processing has helped produce very encouraging data on the increase in household income for those who have followed instructions on stand management, controlled harvesting, transport and marketing, which have led to additional income of up to 300% with respect to their past income levels when no suitable management and harvesting plans were used. According to information provided by project PD 482/06 Rev.2 (F), the tropical forests in Moyomba, San Martin, have an average of 4,225 bamboo stems/ha, from which 1,131 stems/ha can be cut annually to produce double the volume of 6-m pieces (standard measurement for the national market), which are sold in the field for US$ 3.92/piece of 4” in diameter, or in other words an annual sales volume of approximately US$ 16,568.00 and an additional US$ 400.00 for the sale of re-growths, for an approximate total of US$ 16,968.00/ha/year, which is much higher than what a farmer can make with traditional crops in the area. Thus, the income of local producers from bamboo harvesting and primary processing could, on average, be more than US$ 15,000.00 ha/year, an amount that could increase with the restoration of forest lands and the rehabilitation of degraded soils, both actions needed to guarantee the sustainability of the project. Furthermore, in areas where it is possible to introduce exotic species such as those of the Dendrocalamus and Phyllostachys genuses, which have been present for more than 150 years in the central tropical forest area, there is potential for introducing edible bamboo shoots. Remaining clusters of the Guadua weberbauri species have been identified in Moyobamba. This is an endangered species, currently under conservation by the local government with the support of PERUBAMBU. Primary Guadua angustifolia forests that are found in some native community forests in the provinces of Moyobamba and Rioja are being rapidly logged-over by intermediaries. However, Project PD 428 Rev.2(F) formulated and implemented a Management Plan for the sustainable harvesting of this species. Greater efforts are required so as not to lose more forest areas to the continued expansion of the agricultural frontier. According to the demand for low-cost premises and dwellings in the two departments, it is estimated that at least 1,000 - 1,500 hectares of plantations or natural forests under sustainable management will be required to satisfy the annual demand in the building sector. The aim of the project is precisely to satisfy the annual local demand by the third year of implementation and to this end, the project already has specific designs for rural dwellings, developed during the implementation of PD 428/06 Rev. 1 (F). 1.4 Expected outcomes at project completion It is expected that this project will significantly contribute to the rehabilitation and sustainable management of natural bamboo formations and to the reforestation and harvesting of bamboo plantations, substantially increasing the income-generating potential of the marketing of bamboo products from agroforestry systems established in degraded land areas of the Selva Alta (mountain rainforests) and Ceja de Selva (moist hill forests) regions in the departments with the highest deforestation rates in the country and local communities with very low economic income levels. The expected outcomes after the completion of this 3-year project are, therefore, as follows:

There is information available on the biology, distribution and sustainability of new natural bamboo formations and plantations and their value-added products as required for their marketing in the local, regional, national and international markets.

Technical documents are available for the dissemination of bamboo forest rehabilitation and management techniques in the different provinces of the regions where the project will be implemented.

A program has been designed and organized for the rehabilitation of 1,000 ha of bamboo forest and the conservation and sustainable management and harvesting of native and introduced bamboo species in the project target area and its areas of influence at the national level.

Awareness-building and training of a critical mass of local community leaders, workers and school students (400 people) in the characteristics and sustainable management of natural bamboo stands and plantations, as well as its value-adding and competitive trade of its products on the domestic market.

Restoration and establishment of natural bamboo stands and plantations (500 ha) to satisfy local and regional demand for bamboo products; to this end it will be necessary to double the current area under natural managed stands and forest plantations of this species.

15

Completion of the establishment of infrastructure (MINCABAMBU) for value-added processing of bamboo products according to local and regional demand in the department of San Martin, whose population has shown to be willing and able to work in increased value-added production.

Contribution to a significant increase in the income of communities directly involved in the project, thanks to the sustainable management and harvesting, processing and marketing of bamboo products.

Project outputs have been disseminated at the national level, and the communities from other regions consider the use of bamboo as a viable and sustainable alternative for the rehabilitation of highly degraded lands, particularly in areas of steep slopes or areas at risk of flooding and landslides that endanger the lives and integrity of the people and their surrounding environment.

Farmers organized into 2 small enterprises will be actively involved in bamboo production chains and will be using the agricultural financial system to cover the costs of reforestation and initial agricultural activities, as well as for the purchase of equipment for bamboo processing, thus increasing their capital and profitability.

PART 2. PROJECT RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES 2.1 RATIONALE 2.1.1 Institutional set-up and organizational issues This project is part of the regional and national government strategy to implement solutions to reduce poverty, conserve the environment and combat illegal logging and illegal crops - central themes of the United Nations “Millennium Development Goals”. Regional and local governments of the two departments involved in this project have developed their regional development plans as well as their regional forest plans prioritising sustainable management and conservation of natural resources and the environment in general: this is clearly expressed in the national development plan and in the “National Accord”, a policy agreement instrument on central themes for national development. Given the significance and priority of this program, civil society organizations such as PERUBAMBU have taken the initiative of proposing and developing a national program for the sustainable management and conservation of natural formations of this species. To this end, the northern forest region of the country has initially been identified. It includes the Departments of Amazonas and San Martin, whose authorities have clearly stated their political will and support for such a program. This was rapidly understood and supported by the local communities, particularly in rural areas, since they had benefitted from the early results of project PD 428/06 Rev.2 (F) and had expressed their strong interest in this new project.

Figure 4: Institutional structure for the project at the national, regional and local levels Importantly, international donor organizations have also expressed their willingness and support; in this case, it was the Government of Japan. For the first time in the history of ITTO funded projects, an Ambassador of Japan in Peru visited an isolated area of the country to inaugurate MINCABAMBÚ jointly with the Peruvian Minister of the Environment and other important regional and local authorities. As an indication of support for and interest in the project, the San Martín regional government hosts the regional office of PERUBAMBU in Moyobamba, and will continue offering these facilities for the implementation of this project, in addition to allocating a site in Calzada, where the main bamboo

propagation nursery of the region is located. Thus, the general institutional framework for the project is quite strong (Figure 4) as there is the political will and the contribution of logistical means, infrastructure and counterpart funds to ensure it is successfully implemented and it achieves its objectives and expected outcomes. National Government: defines the legal framework and development policies and strategies at the national level, with directives for their implementation at the regional level; it coordinates and facilitates program funding with national or international funds. The forest sector is under the responsibility of the Ministry of Agriculture – National Forest and Wildlife Service. In addition, agreements have been signed with IIAP, the Agrarian Bank of Peru and DEVIDA, all national government agencies, to undertake joint actions and jointly contribute to the achievement of objectives to ensure project sustainability. Regional Governments: within the policy and strategic framework defined by the national Government, regional governments are a sub-national authority. They design their own development plans for each sector including the environment, forests, agriculture and livestock, health and education, and allocate funds and technical assistance for program and project implementation at the local government level. Agreements have been signed with both regional governments. Local governments: receive resources from national or regional governments and implement specific programs and projects in their own jurisdiction. In this context and at this level of government, the participation of mostly organized users of specific localities should be stressed, as they have great organizational and operational capacity and constitute a strong social base that will ensure the implementation of project activities and the achievement of its expected outcomes and objectives. Agreements will be signed with the local governments of the Districts and Provinces of Tocache and Huallaga in San Martin, which were not involved in the implementation of project PD 428/06 Rev.2 (F). Civil Society: provides support to the development of strategies, plans and programs at the national, regional and local levels, and jointly with regional and local authorities, implements development projects. International Cooperation Agencies: in coordination with the Executive and Foreign Affairs, provide technical and financial support for plans and programs within the framework of national or regional policies and strategies. There are memoranda of understanding as well as letters requesting support for the implementation of a project that strengthens the outcomes achieved, as indicated in Annex 5. There has also been coordination with international and national cooperation agencies such as Conservation International (CI), APECO and GIZ from Germany, for the implementation of joint activities and training of local communities in their area of expertise, in bamboo propagation techniques and sustainable management and use. In order to ensure project sustainability and increase rural community involvement in San Martin, it is necessary to build a MINCABAMBU pilot processing center in a neutral locality of easy access, where local community members can be trained to carry out ongoing processing work and access the national and international markets. The impact that this type of infrastructure has had in Aramango, Amazonas, has demonstrated the value of community empowerment, when the communities are actively involved in the entire process of building, maintaining and using the center, which can also become a local and regional tourist attraction. Some of the benefits to be derived from the project include:

Rehabilitation of degraded forests and forest lands, Improved management of water and soil resources, Valuation of bamboo forests or stands, Valuation of the utilization of non-timber forest products as a sustainability and value-added

production mechanism, Reduced reliance on bamboo product imports, Curbing of the expansion of the agricultural frontier and hence deforestation, Development of new sustainable development alternatives, Generation of employment opportunities for both men and women, Rural socioeconomic development and poverty alleviation in rural areas, Reduction of rural-urban migration.

2.1.2 Stakeholder analysis Project users will be individuals or family members of the communities as well as the communities representing the organized population as social entities. In the former case, the users will be the direct beneficiaries in the work done by the project such as production of plants in nurseries, planting and maintenance, and upstream processing and marketing. They will also be involved at the individual level in short training courses and workshops, plantations, and forest nurseries. In all these cases community member involvement will be through and after coordination with community and local government (municipalities) authorities and after the relevant work plan has been approved. Craftsmen will also be involved; these may be farmers or members of native communities or settlements in urban centres. However, low-income women and young people who are actively involved in training activities will be the main beneficiaries, for their preferential involvement in the bamboo production chain will be promoted by the project. Local governments and direct users organized in communities or associations will be primary stakeholders and direct beneficiaries in the project; they will carry out production activities to benefit the population of their areas, training their officials, establishing production and training infrastructure, designing projects, plans and programs for local and community development. Regional governments will also be major stakeholders, since they will negotiate agreements for the implementation of the project in their respective regions; the logistic facilities and administrative support, guidelines, directives, plans and programs designed at the regional government level will prove very useful and crucial to the implementation of the project. These regional governments will also benefit from the incorporation of bamboo into the economic dynamics of their regions, as well as from training of their officials in project activities and the development of plans and programs to strengthen the environment and the living standards of their communities. The project will train at least 400 direct beneficiaries within its target area, and it may also indirectly benefit at least 10,000 – 20,000 people in the near future, including close relatives (4,500 to 9,000 people), trained community members who use bamboo instead of traditional timber species for their dwellings, and for domestic and agricultural implements, crafts manufactured for sale (1000), bamboo and/or timber loggers who will receive information on sustainable tropical forest management (500), bamboo distributors (500), builders (500), and other local farmers and craftsmen (2000). Table 5 contains a summary of the characteristics, problems and needs, potential, involvement and benefits of primary and secondary project stakeholders. Important beneficiaries of the project will also include technical experts, professionals of partner NGODs and forest and natural resource research institutions, all of which will be able to participate directly in research work and input their own knowledge and expertise in the area to help achieve the specific objectives of the project, simultaneously benefitting from direct access to training in rehabilitation techniques and sustainable management of bamboo forests. There will also be indirect beneficiaries, including all the individuals who gain awareness through the information broadcast by virtual media, radio and TV and the technical manuals developed by the project, and implement techniques for bamboo forest rehabilitation and management, thus contributing to the sustainability of tropical forests in other areas of the country.

2.1.3 Problem Analysis The communities living in the project area – who are mostly migrants from neighbouring Andean regions – are mainly involved in agricultural activities (shifting agriculture in montane moist tropical forest lands for rice, corn, coffee, and other crops) with limited harvesting of a few timber species followed by slash-and-burn practices. This increases deforestation, which at the national level is approximately 260,000 ha/year, accounting for 0.45% of the total area of moist tropical forests in the country. In the 2000-2005 period, deforestation in the Department of San Martin was more than 114,991 ha per year, while from 2005 to 2010 it was estimated at 117,727 ha per year, causing biodiversity loss, land degradation and reduction of the quantity and quality of water resources, among other problems. The poverty and extreme poverty conditions prevailing in the two regions where the project will be implemented have led to the search for new opportunities and alternatives to improve the current living standards of the mostly migrant communities of the high Andean region or their descendents, which in most cases are barely at a subsistence level. This has compounded the pressure exerted by the population on the environment, or more precisely, on natural resources, with the forest being the first victim through high deforestation rates and extensive areas of degraded forests seasonally used for the production of agricultural products for self-consumption. This situation forces shifting farmers to continue logging and burning natural forests so as to ensure their livelihoods, which results in land degradation, landslides, drastic disturbance of water flows, floods, road erosion and loss of forest biodiversity.

Figure 5. Vicious circle of environmental deterioration: lack of resources, deforestation, and low income levels from crops of low profitability

In this context, the growing deforestation rate in the project area of influence (the natural range area of Guadua angustifolia, a bamboo species of high commercial value) requires immediate action to stop this trend and mitigate its negative effects, which have severe environmental and socio-economic consequences on water, air, energy, food, health and ecosystem resources. In view of this, the REHABILITATION of these degraded lands, under a strategy aimed at generating production activities and systems that can offer an alternative to deforestation, is without doubt the most appropriate option. As a follow-up of what was learned and successfully applied during the implementation of Project PD 428/06 Rev.2 (F), some of the key points to be considered are the promotion and training of the population in intermediary bamboo processing techniques aimed at the development of new quality products and designs demanded by national and international markets and the increase in the utilization of bamboo at the local and regional levels, as well as the promotion of bamboo in the markets of the coastal region of the country, where it is used for the construction of seismic-resistant housing. In this context, bamboo constitutes a real alternative that has already been validated in Asia and Colombia, even though there is very limited knowledge among the population and in private and public sector institutions on the benefits and potential of bamboo from the management of natural bamboo stands or plantations to its end-use products with or without processing. The housing sector has recorded the largest

demand for materials, with bamboo or "Guayaquil cane" being intensively used in past decades. However, due to the misleading promotion of the ill-named “noble materials” (bricks, concrete and steel) in political, business and academic sectors, the use of bamboo as a construction material later decreased, especially in its natural range areas. Even though a major objective of this project is the improvement of rural living standards in these regions through the organization of the entire bamboo production chain with highly profitable and socially inclusive economic activities, its contribution to ecosystem conservation and management is also important as bamboo helps to rehabilitate and improve degraded lands, water resource management, sequestration of large CO2 volumes, improvement of ecosystems and biodiversity conservation. The authorities and leaders of public and private organizations, as well as the growing number of rural communities, especially those who actively participated in the last months of the implementation of Project PD 428/06 Rev.2(F) and those who only belatedly understood the comparative and competitive advantages of the management and value-added harvesting and utilization of bamboo, informed the members of PERUBAMBU and the ITTO representative, during the closing ceremony of the Moyobamba and Aramango conference, of their interest in actively participating in the next phase of the project. They particularly expressed their desire to have access to training in simple bamboo processing techniques, as well as to continue with the rehabilitation/reforestation program of large areas of land degraded by extractive and cattle raising activities, that in many cases are implemented with the support of local and regional authorities.

PART 3 DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT INTERVENTIONS The rapid depletion of tropical forests with bamboo stands, particularly in the easily accessible areas of the inter-Andean valleys of central forest region and the northern region of the country, where a high percentage of the local communities live in poverty and extreme poverty conditions (mainly due to excessive extraction of resources using inappropriate harvesting methods), can be reversed with the implementation of a training program on intermediate forest rehabilitation and management techniques, which, considering the extent of the tropical forests found in the project’s area of influence, will be focused on the areas of highest significance in environmental and economic terms, to be previously identified and surveyed through field and satellite techniques. In view of its widely recognized socioeconomic and environmental importance, and given that it has been clearly demonstrated that the propagation and planting of bamboo is a relatively simple process and its primary processing is also a simple process that does not require complex technology or costly and sophisticated equipment, it is imperative to promote the adaptation, and if necessary the improvement, of the technologies developed in the previous project. 3.1 OUTPUTS AND ACTIVITIES 3.1.1 Outputs Intended outputs of this project are: OUTPUT 1.1. Thematic diagnosis of bamboo forests for the formulation and implementation of a Plan for the rehabilitation of 1000 ha of bamboo forests and reforestation of 500 ha of degraded lands using bamboo. 3.1.2 Activities Activity 1.1.1. General thematic diagnosis on the physical and biological characteristics of bamboo forests, assessment of current status, physical forest inventory and virtual evaluation in degraded forests in the project target area. This will be carried out through interpretation of LANSAT satellite images at a scale of 1/250,000 with vegetation and current land-use maps, over an area of approximately 100,000 hectares. This will be followed by a validation process based on field checks. The forest inventory will be carried out in the area selected for the rehabilitation of 1000 ha and reforestation of 500 ha, including 500 ha and 250 ha in each department respectively. The inventory will be based on field sampling and the establishment of permanent sample plots, ensuring the collection of necessary data for a potential REDD+ program that could be implemented in this area. Activity 1.1.2. Establishment of 5 nurseries for the production of bamboo seedlings, one per province, with a minimum production capacity of 40,000 seedlings/month. Activity 1.1.3. Reforestation with bamboo in agroforestry systems over 500 hectares of degraded lands (250 ha per department) and rehabilitation of 1000 ha of natural and planted bamboo forests (500 ha per department). OUTPUT 1.2. The capacities of local communities in management techniques and value-added processing and marketing of bamboo products have been strengthened leading to their integration into production chains, significantly increased income levels and improved living standards. Activity 1.2.1. Ten (10) theoretical-practical training workshops on propagation techniques, and sustainable management and harvesting of bamboo forests provided by an international expert for 30 beneficiaries per workshop. Two (02) theoretical-practical training workshops on bamboo construction techniques for 20 beneficiaries per workshop. Four (04) theoretical-practical training workshops on bamboo furniture, crafts and/or charcoal production techniques for 15 beneficiaries per workshop

30

Activity 1.2.2. Design, construction, equipping and operation of a Bamboo Training and Processing Center – MINCABAMBU, similar to the center established in Aramango, Bagua, Department of Amazonas, within the framework of project PD 428/06 Rev.2 (F). The center, to be established in the province of Moyabamba, capital city of San Martin. will be equipped with basic bamboo cutting, treatment and finishing machinery. The operation of the Center will be under the responsibility of selected small enterprises to be set up and trained by the project, under agreement with the Regional Government to ensure its sustainability and operational transparency. Activity 1.2.3. Organization and formalization of two (02) small enterprises and bamboo production chains, to be set up by local community members/project beneficiaries, so as to ensure formal marketing of value-added forest products produced in the processing center. Priority will be given to women trained in micro-enterprise administration and management, who will be actively involved in the management of operations. At least twenty (20) individual stakeholders or groups by department will gain access to credit from the Agrarian Bank (Banco Agrario) or other similar institutions. Activity 1.2.4. Promotion and dissemination of advances and technologies developed by the project, as well as commercial supplies developed by project beneficiaries. The project will participate in fairs and other events so as to showcase at the national level the potential of local enterprises trained in value-added processing of bamboo products for their penetration of the international market through the bamboo production chain. Virtual and/or face-to-face interviews will be carried out with local and regional community members and professionals at the national level to measure the project impact. 3.3 IMPLEMENTATION APPROACHES AND METHODS In order to achieve the project’s development objective, namely the significant reduction of the degradation of tropical forests in the north-western region of the country and the improvement of the living standards and quality of life of the communities living in this region, the strategy to be applied will be focused on strengthening the capacities of local communities so that once motivated to actively participate in project activities and consequently in the rehabilitation of degraded forest lands and the technical management of natural bamboo formations and bamboo plantations in agroforestry systems, they will ensure the sustainable utilization and subsequent primary and/or secondary processing of bamboo products according to the capacities of individual project beneficiaries, who will also be able to be involved in the marketing and business management activities of the organization they will become members of. The strategy takes into consideration the experiences of Project PD 428/06 Rev.2 (F) as well as Project PD 2/98 Rev.2 (F), which have provided better information and knowledge on the biological characteristics of bamboo species found in the project area, the factors affecting their propagation and healthy development and the environmental characteristics influencing their development, as well as the factors limiting the implementation and effective administration of sustainable forest management in native bamboo forests and bamboo plantations in the north-western region of the country. Furthermore, information has been compiled on factors that distract the attention of beneficiaries and the differences between the various ethnic groups of the region, providing concrete mechanisms to counteract these factors and ensure the sustainability of the project. In addition, financial tools will be made available, which, if adequately applied, could be extremely useful for the local population, including information on access to bank funding to finance their development projects, as is the case with Agrobanco’s funding facilities, both for reforestation and forest management activities, as well as for the acquisition of equipment and tools for processing operations. In order to ensure and strengthen the participation, commitment and involvement of the different stakeholders or local communities in the bamboo production chain, the project will implement a number of activities such as: 1) Regular information meetings on objectives, advances, problems and solution alternatives for the members of the production chains; 2) Signing and implementation of specific agreements with different levels of individual and legal members, so as to ensure their commitment and active participation; 3) Strengthening of technical and human capacities of the members of the Executing Agency and members of the local Committees; 4) Promotion of strategic partnerships with national and international public and private institutions, for innovation, training and transfer of technology in the subject matter; 5) Establishment of demonstration plots in strategic areas and dissemination of the results achieved and the scope of their sustainable use.

31

To implement this participatory development approach, the project will consider the following actions: 1) Strengthening of local organizations involved in the harvesting and processing of forest products; 2) Establishment of a participatory monitoring and evaluation process to ensure the successful implementation of forest sector development activities; 3) Organization of participatory consultations as well as information dissemination and mainstreaming. Project stakeholders will be grouped according to their interests. Furthermore, to ensure the full implementation of project activities, the project will work with a multi-disciplinary professional team, with expertise in environmental, forest, agricultural, economic, social and legal issues. The project will establish synergies with local and regional public and private institutions, to scale up actions and prevent duplication of efforts. Coordinated work with regional and local governments as well as native communities will be encouraged, and the project will be mainstreamed in the discussions of the regional consensus-building roundtable. Regional, province and district governments (local governments) will be partners of the project executing agency for implementation purposes, a key element to ensure project sustainability. Local capacity building will be promoted, identifying and training leaders and local personnel for the implementation of field work and activities. A gender and social equity approach will be promoted, encouraging equal involvement of men and women in the various project activities, on the basis of their capacities.

3.5 ASSUMPTIONS, RISKS, SUSTAINABILITY 3.5.1 Assumptions and risks The Government of Peru maintains a forest sector development policy but because of changes to policy direction or plans that may be implemented by the new National Government that is to take office in 2016, it could stop considering bamboo as an important alternative from an ecological, economic and social viewpoint and reduce or limit the government’s support for the implementation of this project. This could also apply to the Regional and/or Local Governments, which will hold elections in January 2015. In order to mitigate the risk associated with this assumption, PERUBAMBU will continue disseminating information about the potential and benefits of bamboo resources through different communication media, conferences and workshops at the national, regional and local levels. In the San Martin and Amazon regions, it will continue to provide technical support, albeit with financial limitations, on nursery management techniques and will continue reporting to current and future authorities about the outputs and impacts of project PD 428/06 Rev.02(F), as well as on the potential impact of this project. PERUBAMBU has signed new agreements, participated in meetings organized by public institutions and regularly participates in technical consultations with indigenous communities, civil society in general and individuals interested in the development of bamboo resources as an eco-efficient business development alternative, maintaining at all times a relationship of trust based on efficient communications and coordination. The institutional policy of the project’s implementing agency will ensure the participation and support of the authorities responsible for the implementation of development projects. The risks involved in the implementation of this project are mitigated by the fact that it will be executed during the term of a government administration that has as one of its objectives to research and find innovative and new alternatives for the integrated development of rural populations in the Amazon region through the utilization of bamboo, which is specifically mentioned in the special agreement signed by the governments of Peru and China for the development of the forest sector, especially through the transfer of bamboo processing technology for which PERUBAMBU has been the main consultant. Economic considerations, such as the timely availability of financial resources and the timely acquisition of services, materials and equipment as required for the implementation of the project, are of vital importance for the efficient administrative implementation of activities. In order to mitigate the risks associated with this assumption it should be noted that the project’s executing agency has demonstrated expertise in the management of ITTO funds, is contributing its own counterpart resources to guarantee the timely implementation of project activities and has the knowledge required for the logistical management and development of mechanisms aimed at ensuring the support of local, regional and institutional authorities, especially those that will provide in-kind contributions such as lands, transport or infrastructure facilities to cover office and other costs involved in the implementation of the project. Given that bamboo is a timber forest resource that has not been widely studied in Peru, it will be necessary to secure adequately trained personnel for the management of this project. In this respect, PERUBAMBU will secure the services of the technical team trained during the implementation of project PD 428/06 Rev.02(F) and will continue strengthening the capacities of the technical personnel of regional and local governments and of the population in general. Another aspect that needs to be clarified to ensure project sustainability is the local and regional governments’ legal ownership status or project beneficiaries’ tenure rights over the natural forests to be rehabilitated and/or reforested. In order to ensure that there are no possible risks of this nature, the project executing agency will coordinate with local and regional authorities to have access to the forests to be rehabilitated (all target forests are property of the State) and to the degraded lands of project beneficiaries. The establishment and strengthening of SMEs is critical to the success of the project and therefore, it is essential to ensure the technical and administrative support of strategic partners, such as the Production

42

Directorates of Regional Governments, the Chambers of Commerce and the Agrarian Bank, for the establishment and consolidation of these micro enterprises. In order to reduce the risk of limited involvement of these institutions in the strengthening of SMEs and their successful development, the project’s executing agency has signed agreements with several institutions based on the promotion of outcomes of project PD 428/06 Rev.02(F) and the potential of bamboo as a sustainable development alternative for Peru. Furthermore, more communication media outlets have become aware of the potential of this resource in a country that is highly susceptible to the impacts of climate change, that has high levels of poverty and whose socio-economic development is based on the export of raw materials. 3.5.2 Sustainability The project has been designed to ensure its social, technical, institutional, economic and political sustainability, but it also has the key advantage that during the implementation of PD 428/06 Rev. 1 (F), a strong foundation was set that will make a big contribution to this new project's sustainability. Thus, the sustainability of the project will be ensured as follows: Social sustainability: The project design takes into consideration local needs identified using a participatory approach, including workshops with local and regional government representatives, leaders of farmer, craftsmen and trader groups/associations and representatives of development NGOs in each of the regions involved. Local and regional leaders have signed documents stating their interest in the project and their commitment to continue with the implementation of project activities, because they are in fact an integral part of the agendas of these organizations. Planned activities take into account key stakeholders' points of view regarding the solution to problems. Similarly, the project will draw on the population’s forest experience and the traditional knowledge of indigenous communities. The participatory and gender-equity approach used for community involvement will promote a sense of ownership of project activities. Technical sustainability: The capacity building activities planned by the project will contribute to the ongoing use of new technologies introduced as part of the project, which will be adapted to the local reality and traditional knowledge. Institutional sustainability: Local and regional authorities as well as key stakeholder organizations will encourage the implementation of initiatives conducive to the strengthening of forest resource management, harvesting and processing. The construction of MINCABAMBU in the San Martin region will strengthen local capacities, thus guaranteeing the continuity of project activities, especially in relation to the provision of training to the communities in bamboo management and primary processing techniques. Furthermore, capacities are being developed to ensure that the project’s executing agency, together with local stakeholders, will be able to implement an education and research project for bamboo development once this project has been completed. Both regional and local authorities are confident that the strengthened capacities that will result from this project will constitute the basis for the development of bamboo in these regions of the country. Financial and economic sustainability: To ensure the sustainability of project outcomes, the project has been structured over three years to achieve its specific objective. The first months of the project will focus on the study of the location and the design of the direct area of influence, as well as training of key stakeholders. The services to be provided by bamboo mechanical processing workshops will also be designed and implemented, and they will serve as permanent schools for ongoing capacity building of users and for new experiences and research for improved efficiency along the entire production chain. The project will promote bamboo forest resource utilization and processing, and will secure the necessary resources and conditions to ensure the viability of project activities and produce expected outputs. External financial sources, particularly the Agrarian Bank, are developing lines of credit, such as the “Mi Finca” (My Farm) program, to help small farmers establish bamboo plantations. The characteristics of this credit facility are that repayments need only be started in the fourth year (when bamboo starts to be commercially produced) and this will apply to all producers, including native communities that submit an investment project that guarantees the profitability of the investment.

43

Political sustainability: In designing the project, both the national regulatory framework and the regulations directly applicable at the local and regional levels were taken into consideration. At the national level the legal framework provides adequate support for the implementation of this project, including through the current Forest and Wildlife Law. Furthermore, project activities will help prove the applicability of existing regulations related to the strategies proposed by the project. The relevant national, regional and local authorities support the implementation of the project and in some watershed areas, such as the Hualla river basin, this support has been expressed through letters of interest indicating their commitment to contribute to this project and future bamboo activities as part of their Strategic Rehabilitation and Reforestation Plans, given the harmful impacts that rainfall causes to agricultural lands in watersheds with high and growing levels of deforestation.

PART 4. IMPLEMENTATION ARRANGEMENTS 4.1 ORGANIZATION STRUCTURE AND STAKEHOLDER INVOLVEMENT MECHANISMS The mission of this project is to improve living standards and environmental conservation in the local rural communities of the target area of the project and its vision is to achieve sustainable forest management and environmental conservation. 4.1.1 Executing agency and partners The project executing agency will be the Peruvian Association for Bamboo (Asociación Peruana del Bambú) – PERUBAMBU, a non-profit organization with expertise in environmental and rural development projects related to bamboo and other timber and non-timber forest species. Even though this organization was established a relatively short time ago, its Executive Director3 has extensive experience in the field; has participated in specialized courses on rural development policies based on non-timber resources with special emphasis on bamboo, non-industrial production of high value-added bamboo products, and sustainable management of bamboo resources, convened in the Peoples Republic of China; has been a speaker at several international events on bamboo; has coordinated participatory planning and Amazon rural development projects; and has conducted consultancies on environmental issues at the international level. Between 2002 and 2007, she was a member of INBAR’s Board of Directors. In addition, she was recently in charge of Project PD 428/06 (F) “Promoting the rehabilitation, management and sustainable use of tropical bamboo forests in the north-western region of Peru”.

FIGURE 6: ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE FOR PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION PERUBAMBU has signed an inter-institutional cooperation agreement with the Ministry of Agriculture (MINAG), DEVIDA, the Agrarian Bank and IIAP, and will receive support from the Ministry of Production, the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Tourism, Regional and Local Governments, and non-governmental organizations in the project area. MINAG´s General Forest and Wildlife Directorate (DGFFS) is the public body responsible for forest resources and ITTO’s focal point. After having signed a cooperation agreement with PERUBAMBU for the implementation of projects related to non-timber forest species, particularly bamboo, it has entrusted PERUBAMBU with the implementation of this project.

4.1.2 Project management team The Project Executing Agency will set up a Project Management Team, supported on a temporary basis by specialists in processing and GIS, as well as national and international consultants in Bamboo Forest Management, Processing, Construction, Business Management, Taxonomy and Bamboo Biology. The team will be directed by a General Coordinator, who will perform general coordination tasks both within and outside the project so as to strengthen partnerships with other institutions and establish enabling conditions to ensure the effective implementation of the project and the achievement of its objectives. The Management Team will comprise Management Specialists (1 for each department) and Assistant Coordinators of Regional Offices (2 in Amazonas and 4 in San Martin). The administrative personnel and event support staff will be part of PERUBAMBU’s Administration and will work on an ongoing basis as required for the achievement of project objectives, both in the regional offices and in the head office in Lima. A description of these roles and their duties is contained in Annex 3. 4.1.3 Project Steering Committee (PSC) A Project Steering Committee will be established to evaluate and guide all activities geared to the achievement of project objectives. The PSC will be made up of representatives from the main institutions involved in the project. The Committee will provide guidance to the executing agency from the project proposal and YPO development phase and should meet at least twice a year to evaluate project progress. The Project Steering Committee will be made up as follows:

A representative of ITTO A representative of the DGFFS A representative of the Regional Government of Amazonas A representative of the Regional Government of San Martín A representative of IIAP or DEVIDA A representative of project donors The Project Coordinator (as secretary of the Project Steering Committee).

The Executing Agency will appoint the Chair of the Project Steering Committee, who will be responsible for approving the work plan, reports and yearly plans of operation. The committee will also check that project actions remain within the basic guidelines leading to the outcomes and objectives for which the project was designed. Furthermore, this Committee will advise on necessary corrections should the project deviate from its basic guidelines. 4.1.4 Stakeholder involvement mechanisms The Executing Agency will establish a Project Consultative Committee (PCC) made up of representatives of the technical units of the Regional and/or Local Governments, a representative of the Regional Chambers of Commerce of each Department, a representative of the native communities, a representative of civil society organizations, a representative of settlers’ organizations, two representatives of international cooperation agencies and two representatives of the academic sector. The PCC will provide relevant information for the achievement of project objectives and project beneficiaries will contribute ideas, technical or financial resources and initiatives to ensure the effective and participatory implementation of the project. The recommendations of the PCC will be submitted to the Chair of the PSC. 4.2 REPORTING, REVIEW, MONITORING AND EVALUATION The Executing Agency, through the General Coordinator of the Project, will prepare regular reports on project activities and outputs, as well as outcomes and direct and indirect impacts and assumptions ensuring or affecting the achievement of the specific objective. The reports will also describe measures to be taken to ensure ongoing monitoring and evaluation of project progress. A project monitoring and review system will be designed at project start-up in accordance with the provisions of the ITTO Manual for Project Reporting, Monitoring, Review and Evaluation to be submitted to the approval of the ITTO Officer. Key indicators will be identified (number of hectares rehabilitated and number of hectares reforested and sustainably managed, participation of direct beneficiaries, establishment of enterprises and production chains, etc.). The General Coordinator, in coordination with the ITTO Official, will set the dates for field visits in accordance with the schedule of activities. It is proposed to carry out the first visit between months 15 and 18 after project start-up when it will be possible to see the outcomes of the progress made. However, it is also advisable to conduct a visit at project start-up to establish a project baseline in the field.

Prior to the implementation of project activities, the General Coordinator will submit an inception report, which will be approved during the first PSC meeting together with the Yearly Plan of Operation (YPO) for Year 1. Project progress, monitoring, review and evaluation reports will be submitted every six months to the ITTO Projects Officer and members of the Steering Committee. Annual reports will be submitted to and evaluated by the PSC. These reports will be made available for review by the established deadline. The Project Completion Report will be submitted within three months of project completion and will contain information of project achievements and all other relevant aspects as required by ITTO. 4.3 DISSEMINATION AND MAINSTREAMING OF PROJECT LEARNING 4.3.1 Dissemination of project results The project will be promoted right from the onset through IT media, including the webpage of the executing agency. Preliminary actions to be carried out for the launching of the project as well as monthly activities will also be reported through this medium, including progress made in the achievement of objectives and news directly or indirectly related to the executing agency and direct beneficiaries, particularly with regard to native communities and women and youth groups. In addition, project activities will be disseminated through local radio and/or television media, stressing important aspects of tropical forest conservation and progress made in the implementation of the project. An annual article on project progress will also be published in the main specialized journal of the agrarian sector (Agronoticias) given its national coverage. During the various stages of project implementation, the technical information on project developments and/or technologies, particularly in relation to bamboo forest management and processing, will be published and will be made freely available in print and digital media, depending on the audience, although in general terms the information generated by the project will be freely accessible to the public. 4.3.2 Mainstreaming of project learning The implementation of outreach workshops is envisaged at the beginning of the project so as to brief authorities and communities on project objectives, activities and expected outcomes. This will be an opportunity to provide information on the activities of the executing agency and the international cooperation community to contribute to the conservation and restoration of tropical forest ecosystems with the involvement of local communities. Other similar workshops and participation in events organized by other relevant institutions will also provide a forum for the mainstreaming of project developments and achievements and for the dissemination of ITTO objectives and the alternatives it offers to contribute to their achievement. As part of the mainstreaming program, study tours/visits will be organized to the District of Aramango so that the relevant authorities and representatives of beneficiaries in the provinces and districts of the San Martin Region can become aware of the benefits of bamboo forests and the services of MINCABAMBU, as a similar center will be built in that department to ensure increased empowerment and active and ongoing involvement of the communities.

ANNEXES ANNEX 1. PROFILE OF EXECUTING AGENCY The Executing Agency of the project will be the Peruvian Bamboo Association – PERUBAMBÚ, a non-profit organization with competence in environmental and rural development projects associated with bamboo and other timber and non-timber forest species, which was founded less than 10 years ago. The Association has carried out a diversity of training activities such as the Design Competition for Bamboo Dwellings, jointly with the Ministry of Housing, Construction and Health - MVCS, the Peruvian Societies of Architects and Engineers, and INBAR in 2007, the International Seminar / Workshop on Anti-Seismic Bamboo Construction held in March 2008, and under an agreement with the MVCS, the Regional Governments of San Martin and Amazonas and several local governments, it successfully implemented project PD 428/06 Rev.2 (F), which was completed in January 2013. Its Executive Director4 has widespread experience in the subject, with involvement in specialized courses in rural development policy based on non-timber resources, particularly bamboo, artisanal production of high value-added bamboo products, sustainable bamboo management, organized by the People's Republic of China. A speaker at various bamboo-related international events, she has led participatory planning and rural development projects in the Amazon Region and worked as an international consultant on environmental matters. She was a member of the Board of Directors of the International Network for Bamboo and Rattan from 2002 to 2008. Since 2008 she has been a member of the Consultative Council of the Minister for the Environment of Peru. PERUBAMBU is headquartered in the city of Lima but has a regional office in San Martin, located in the offices of the Regional Government of the Department, which facilitates coordination with government officers. In addition, it has a bamboo seedling propagation nursery in the District of Calzada, which will facilitate the establishment of other nurseries as it has sufficient seed material of very high quality, thus eliminating the need to have an initial installation period that can last up to six months. PERUBAMBÚ signed an inter-institutional cooperation agreement with the former National Institute of Natural Resources – INRENA, of the Ministry of Agriculture, whose role has been partially taken over by the General Forest and Wildlife Directorate of the Ministry of Agriculture. Furthermore, it has agreements with the regional governments of Amazonas and San Martín as well as several local governments in the project’s target area. The project has also signed an agreement with the Peruvian Amazon Research Institute – IIAP and the National Commission for Development and Life without Drugs – DEVIDA, and will therefore receive support from both institutions. In addition, it will receive support from the Ministry of Housing, Construction and Health, the Ministry of Production, the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Tourism and non-governmental organizations for development in the project’s area of influence. PERUBAMBÚ is in charge of the technical and administrative implementation of the project and will coordinate with DGFFS and all relevant organizations at the national, regional and local level, to ensure that the project’s objectives are achieved. The General Coordinator of the project, appointed by PERUBAMBÚ based on a “no-objection” statement from ITTO, will be the person in charge of project implementation. The Coordinator will have the support of a specialist technical team whose members will have proven experience in project-relevant areas. The Management and Industry consultants will be responsible for activities associated with the specific objective of the project, and will be supported in their roles by consultants in specialized areas, required both in the diagnostic and implementation phases of the project. COLLABORATING AGENCIES The General Forest and Wildlife Directorate - DGFFS is the public agency in charge of renewable natural resources in the forest and ITTO's focal point. Because it has signed a cooperation agreement with PERUBAMBÚ with a view to implementing projects related to non-timber forest species, especially bamboo, it will be the institution formally in charge of monitoring and evaluation. Besides the regular evaluation and monitoring of progress towards project goals and objectives, it will provide support through Forest and Wildlife Administrations, transferred to regional government with technical personnel, to implement training activities and transfer of technology to rural communities, and it will provide information regarding concession holders, native communities and owners of agroforestry lands that could be involved in project activities. 4 Josefina Takahashi Sato, Ph.D. in Biological Sciences

The Regional Government of San Martin, headquartered in Moyobamba, is the highest government authority in the Department of San Martin. The government is under the responsibility of the Regional President, Mr Cesar Villanueva Arevalo. He was elected for a second term by a very vast majority because of his extensive work in the field of agro-forestry development, even though the deforestation rate in the area is still very high due to the large number of migrants coming from the high Andean regions. The regional government of San Martin has the only Regional Environmental Authority at the national level and two special projects, as well as several project managers with whom it will be possible to closely coordinate activities. The government also has logistic facilities for the implementation of workshops and can provide support for the mobilization of beneficiaries. The Economic Development Department is the most important counterpart agency of this project because it is in charge of the Production, Tourism and Agriculture Directorates. The Regional Government of Amazonas, headquartered in the city of Chachapoyas, is the highest government authority in the Department of Amazonas. The President is Dr José Arista, who is a real promoter of bamboo resources. Even though the distance between the capital city and the project area makes coordination difficult, the Government has the Bagua Sub-Region Management Department, which is in charge of the provinces of Bagua and Condorcanqui. The Municipal Government of the District of Imaza, with capital in the city of Chiriaco, is actively involved in bamboo promotion in the district. Originally, this district had large areas of natural bamboo forests and the native population used to harvest these resources for the construction of housing and many other uses. The local authority and its technical team are strong partners of the project executing agency and synergies between these institutions will ensure a major impact in this district. There are also other partners in the project area such as local governments, the Chamber of Commerce of San Martin, and the community enterprise ACOPAGRO, which is the main exporter of organic cacao in Peru. All of these partners are also interested in bamboo resource development. IIAP and DEVIDA are two institutions of the Executive Branch of the national government. They both have specialized experts based in the Amazon area with head offices at the national level and a top-rated technical team. Both institutions have signed cooperation agreements and are very interested in cooperating with the promotion of bamboo as a sustainable development alternative for the communities of the Peruvian Forest Region. The Peruvian Association for the Conservation of Nature – APECO is a non-profit organization that has been implementing excellent work in the project area and is concerned with the socio-economic development of the local population as a mechanism to avoid deforestation and loss of biodiversity in natural protected areas in both target departments. The executing agency has established a close relationship with APECO’s members, who can assist in the coordination of activities with native communities and other very poor sectors of the local population, with whom the Association has been working for several years.

5.3 GENERAL ASPECTS OF BAMBOO Bamboo is a non-timber forest product (NTFP) found in many areas of the country. It is distributed in varying densities (10 – 50%), mainly throughout the extensive primary forests of difficult access found in Ucayali (19,035 km2), Madre de Dios (16,114 km2), Cusco (3,868 km2) and Junin (960 km2). Bamboo resources are also found in large areas of the Valleys of Ceja de Selva and Selva Alta in the northern (San Martín, Amazonas, Cajamarca, Piura and Lambayeque) and central (Huanuco and Pasco) regions of the country, and to a lesser extent in some valley areas of the northern and central coastal region of Peru, where harvesting under no management plans and with no value added threatens the sustainability of tropical forests, hence their limited contribution to the local economy. Bamboo grows from sea level to 4000 m.a.s.l.. A total of 8 genera and 40 species of bamboo have been identified, including Ch. aspera; Ch. polyclados; Ch. scandes; Ch. serrulata; Ch. peruviana; Ch. tessellata; Apoclada sp.; Aulonemia haenkei; A. queko; A. parviflora; A. hirsuta; A. longiaristata; Elytrostachys sp.; Neurolepsis weberbaueri; Ripidocladum harmonicum; Guadua sarcocarpa; G. paniculata; G. aff. angustifolia; G. superba; G. weberbauri; Rhipidocladum sp., in addition to several introduced species (See Map of Bamboo Distribution in Peru). Some of these species have formed special ecosystems which support endangered endemic bird and mammal species, such as the grey-headed ant-eater (Myrmeciza griseiceps), “Incan cockroach trapper” (Thryothorus eisenmanni) and “hemispingo parodi” (Hemispingus parodii), as well as endemic birds associated to Chusquea sp., Aulonemia queko and Guadua spp. forests. Native and introduced species with greatest potential in the project area include: Guadua affin angustifolia, Guadua sarcocarpa spp purpurea, Guadua weberbaueri, Chusquea sp. Neurolepsis weberbaueri, Rhipidocladium racemiflorum, Bambusa vulgaris and Bambusa tulda. The first signs of bamboo utilization in this continent date back to more than 8,000 years ago, with evidence of bamboo use found in construction and in the manufacturing of various products in the peoples of Chavin de Huantar, Moche and Paracas. Nowadays, it is mostly used for the construction of housing and the

58

manufacturing of furniture and household products. In all cases, bamboo is used with limited basic technological knowledge and limited value added to the resource. Bamboo resources are a key element in the construction sector. Since colonial times, bamboo has been used in the construction of churches and houses, to build walls (quincha) and subsequently to reinforce concrete given the breaking strength (1,800 to 2,700 lb/p2) shown by the “marona” species (G. affin angustifolia and G. angustifolia) (or “Guayaquil cane”), as well as in the furniture industry, in the manufacturing of exclusive products made of Ch. coleou imported from Chile and geared to the middle and upper class markets. However, no evidence has been found of the commercial production of furniture and other products with Peruvian native bamboo species. The export of these products is negligible and their contribution to the economy is very limited. At the global level, more than one billion people live in bamboo houses and more than two billion dollars are generated through foreign trade in bamboo products such as construction components, furniture, household and office utensils and fixtures, textile fibers, fungicides and bactericides for the agricultural, pharmaceutical and cosmetics sectors, and filters for the mining sector. Bamboo resources are widely distributed throughout the Peruvian national territory, where more than 100 species have been identified; therefore, this resource base has great potential considering the properties of each of these species and the increasing demand in the national and international markets. Natural bamboo stands in Peru cover approximately 39,978 km2, which accounts for 3.1% of the national territory, and it is estimated that there are approximately 3.6 million hectares with high bamboo concentrations.. However, these natural associations are located in highly logged-over areas with road access, which are under threat due to the lack of knowledge on their sustainable harvesting and the expansion of the agricultural frontier through low-profitability crops such as rice. There are approximately 18 – 20 bamboo genera in Peru, which comprise around 100 species5 distributed throughout the national territory, including: Agnesia lancifolia (1), Alounemia spp. (9), Arthrostylidium simpliciusculum (1), Chusquea spp. (26), Cryptochloa unispiculata (1), Guadua spp. (7), Lasiacis spp.( 7), Lithachne pauciflora (1), Merostachys sp. (1), Neurolepis spp. (5), Olyra spp. (14), Pariana spp. (12), Parodiolyra lateralis (1), Pharus spp. (5), Piresia spp. (3), Rhipidocladum spp. (4), Streptochaeta spp.(2) , Streptogyna americana (1). See Map below.
