Sound Ecosystem Management in support of human-based adaptation
SCAPES in San Ignacio Province, Perú
To maintain the resilience of the ECR’s mountain and
lowland forest ecosystems and their biodiversity values to climate change.
The methodological approach combines activities on the ground as well as policy and institutional strengthening activities.
Project Goal:
Policywork at
district & provincial units
Natural processes cross-cut
administrative boundaries
SCAPES
Pressing needs in the eye of policy-makers

Ecosystems & People approach
Conservation: WWF in Peru Development: CARE in PeruWorking with people is
recognized as a vital means to a biodiversity-centered end.
Working with the environment is recognized as a vital means to a
people-centered end.
Climate change affects both, ecosystems and its services as well as livelihoods.
It is the coincidence point that could make people-centered and ecosystem-centered approaches work together complementarily, considering that people in the field
recognize the importance of ecosystems for their livelihoods, especially when they significantly depend on natural resources and services provided by them.
