SPDA is a civil non-prot organization, founded in 1986,which has been working continuously in the promotion

of environmental policy and legislation in Peru. We havebecome one of the most recognized organizations in Latin

America, specialized in this eld. We promote and facilitate theeffective implementation of environmental norms and policies,

participating actively in policy and technical dialogues, and incertain cases, intervening in the defense of citizen rights. To

support public and private management of the environment, wepromote the use of specic planning and management tools

and we invest in educational and training programs, promotingenvironmental and social responsibility of companies and other

social actors, among other approaches linked to the threeelements of sustainable development: environment, economics

and social issues. We believe in the decentralization processand the important role of Regional and Municipal Governments

in the search for sustainable development. Besides our main

ofce in Lima, SPDA has two decentralized ofces in theregions of Loreto and Madre de Dios and undertakes work

on a permanent basis in the departments of Amazonas, SanMartn and Cusco.

Aboutus


6/64

Our

missionWe seek to contribute to the generation of

a healthier society, in a sustainable, happyand equitable world, where people can value

their natural and cultural heritage and live

without putting at risk the planets viability andopportunities for future generations, wheredifferent forms of life are considered and valued.

SPDA works along three different strategic lines:

Natural heritage

Law and governance

Environmental justice


7/64

Natural heritage - all components of nature to which weattribute economic or spiritual value - is a driving forcefor our development as a country, pride and identity. It is

part of what we inherit from our ancestors and must beadministered with sound criteria to transcend throughout

future generations.

We therefore promote knowledge generation and properuse of the natural heritage. Proper use implies, in the

majority of cases, the design of conservation strategies,ranging from protection to sustainable use. In other

cases, when a natural heritage space is lost following

different types of decisions, a technical, scientic,legal, economic and/or social analysis is required tojustify these decisions. This must go hand in hand

with environmental compensation measures, in order

to return to the natural heritage under some type of

established modality.

Some issues included in this approach are: natural

protected areas, forests, landscapes, biological diversity,ecosystem services, regional conservation systems,

water and territorial or environmental compensation

schemes. Also under this line of action SPDA includesagrobiodiversity and traditional knowledge, which

Naturalheritage


8/64

The construction of a better society requires that its

institutions and legal frameworks are solid, fair andtransparent. Institutionality relates to structures, processesand norms, both for the public sector as well as civil

society. This is the best guarantee for environmental

governance.

SPDA supports the development of environmentallegislation that is coherent and systematic, based on

sustainability principles and permanently updated,according to the dynamics of life itself. We believe that

relying on capable and organized institutions is the

best guarantee for norms to translate into sustainablemanagement of a territory and offer real opportunitiesfor development. These institutions are found at different

government levels and sectors, as well as within civilsociety.

Some issues included in this strategic action lineare: environmental legislation; strengthening thecapacities of government institutions through courses,

consultancies, agreements and cooperation programs;organizational designs; decentralization; development

of civil society networks; civil society strengthening,mainly indigenous groups, through legal and technical

advice courses publications communication strategies

Law andgovernance


9/64

Environmentaljustice

There is the need for good norms and institutions to be

broadly understood and implemented. Implementation,monitoring and participation instruments, and

eventually defense instruments, may be required,always based on a better understanding of citizen

rights in relation to the environment.

Environmental justice seeks to empower citizens andinstitutions to exercise their environmental rights, in an

informed and effective manner.

Some issues or activities included in this strategic

action line are: case studies or research productsrelated to emblematic issues such as illegal mining,infrastructure or palm plantations; legal consultancies;

participative monitoring and early warning systems;transparency of information; observatories;

administrative and legal cases; communication

strategies and participation in civil society groupingsand network.

Main activities


Environmental compensation

We contributed in the design of a legalproposal of guidelines to elaborate andimplement the Environmental CompensationPlan from the loss of ecosystems, under theframework of the National EnvironmentalImpact Assessment System led by theMinistry of Environment (MINAM).

Together with MINAM and the Wildlife

Conservation Society (WCS), a regionalworkshop was organized focusing onthe exchange of experiences regardingenvironmental compensation policiesand standards, and environmental andsocial impact assessments. The workshopinvolved the participation of more thanseventy participants (representatives ofpublic organizations in Ecuador, Colombiaand Chile) with the objective to strengthenthe capacities of local authorities onidentied issues.

Biodiversity and food security

The implementation of Rincn del Saber, a

small museum located in Unu Urco, districtof Calca (Cusco) was initiated. This openspace, managed in coordination with apeasant community and youth organizationwill have an exhibition of infographieson the importance of agrobiodivesity, areading room, samples of native potatoesand their description, and a small seedbank of approximately ve hundred

varieties of native potatoes from Calca andsurroundings. The inauguration is scheduledfor the rst half of 2014.

We initiated the implementation of the LocalAgrobiodiversity Register, a tool that will help toposition agroecology, as an alternative for localdevelopment. For this purpose, the Platform forthe Conservation of Andean Seeds and Tubers

(PACTA) which is part of the AGROECOproject in which SPDA is one of the main leadinginstitutions- has committed its participation indeveloping this register, in order to contribute toits substantive content and provide visibility.

Environmental impact assessment

We provided MINAM with technicalassistance during the initial implementation

process of the National Service ofEnvironmental Certication of SustainableInvestment (SENACE). In this regard, wesupported this agency in conducting anumber of meetings and workshops withdifferent actors, aimed towards working on areview process for administrative proceduresas part of the evaluation impact assessmentprocess.

Assistance was also provided to implementan internship program between MINAMand the National Authority of EnvironmentalLicenses (ANLA) of Colombia andEnvironmental Assessment Service (SEA)of Chile, institutions with similar functions tothose of SENACE. The exchange helped to

learn more on how these institutions werestructured and the challenges for SENACEin the future.

Through the publication Promotingenvironmental investment and management:analyzing Supreme Decree 060-2013-PCM, we analyzed the positive aspectsand disputable points of the norm, and

contributed towards an informed debate onthis norm that intended to simplify the waitingtime for review of environmental impactstudies, and by this, contribute to promotinginvestment in the country.

Law and

governance

SPDA also presented Setting the bases for

environmental management to guaranteesustainable investments, targeted atcontributing to the reection and generation ofcommitments for national processes presentin the country for the academic community.

Main activities


We formulated a law proposal forthe Metropolitan Municipality of Lima

that establishes the procedure togrant environmental certication andenvironmental monitoring proceduresunder their competence.

Illegal mining

SPDA promoted the correct implementation

of norms to regulate mining formalizationand the interdiction of illegal mining,through an integrated strategy thatincludes: the elaboration of public policyproposals, follow up of the formalizationprocess and strengthening the capacityof public institutions at a decentralizedlevel, including regional governments,environmental prosecutors and the JudicialAuthority.

Together with the CAN General Secretariat,we organized the event Reectionsand exchange of experiences on theproblematic of illegal mining in the AmazonBasin, that brought together expertsof six Amazonian countries. The goal:

to strengthen capacities and increasethe knowledge of public ofcials on thesituation of illegal mining, its expansion andimpacts on countries of the Amazon Basin.

We analyzed the most importantlandmarks, as well as the main barrierssurrounding policies to regulate miningformalization of artisanal and small-

scale mining implemented in Madre deDios since 2002. The result of the study,to be published in 2014, has helped tostrengthen our contributions to the miningformalization process during this year.


17/64


In this line of work, we offered technicallegal advice to regional authorities, in

order to stop the negative impact ofillegal mining in high value conservationareas such as El Sira CommunalReserve (Pasco, Hunuco, Ucayali)and the Panguana (Hunuco) privateconservation area.

Legislation

SPDA is working together with SERNANP,to improve their legal framework, offeringtechnical and legal advice on differentmatters such as: prior consultation, theestablishment of regional conservationareas, ecosystem services, REDD,physical and legal formalization of landtitles, among others.

We continue to work in the elaborationand implementation of nancialsustainability mechanisms for voluntaryconservation tools, linking them to theNational Program for the Conservation ofForests, the tax legal framework, amongothers.

SPDA collaborated in the elaborationof a regulatory proposal modifyingthe Regulation on Access to GeneticResources which, among otheraspects, incorporates SERNANP asan administrative authority under theaccess regime the national level. Thiswill allow administrative procedures to be

simplied.

The Initiative for Private and Communal Conservation is a platform of activities createdto support and promote conservation and the sustainable use of areas and resourcesby civil society, providing them with legal security. At the same time, it contributesto increasing the coverage of protected sites in the country, by adding effective andimproved conservation mechanisms.

The main lines of action are the promotion and dissemination of legal instruments

that support private and communal conservation; also the generation of dialoguespaces to facilitate the channeling of implementation proposals and improve legal andinstitutional frameworks. This work is achieved by organizing courses, workshops andforums, through publications and promotional material, providing legal and technicaladvice to possible interested groups, and the direct support from the Seed Fund for thedevelopment of new experiences.

The Initiative for Conservation in the Andean-Amazon (ICAA) Support Unit is a long-term regional program created by the United States Agency for International Development(USAID), which brings together and integrates the efforts of more than thirty partnerorganizations, both local and international, to strengthen conservation of the Amazonbiome in Colombia, Ecuador, Bolivia and Peru.

ICAA objectives are: to contribute to reducing the rate of deforestation and biodiversity

loss; ensure that key aspects of natural resource governance function more effectivelyand improve the quality and sustainability of the livelihood of Amazonian populations.Through this Initiative, USAID reafrms its commitment to conservation and sustainabledevelopment in the Andean Amazon region.

The Support Unit is lead by the Resources Group (IRG), and is formed by the PeruvianSociety for Environmental Law (SPDA), Social Impact (SI), Environmental Law andManagement Corporation (ECOLEX), Natural Heritage Fund (NHF) and World WildlifeFund (WWF).

Natural resources and governance

ICAA elaborated a baseline report onterritorial conicts for Sucumbios, Napo,Orellana and Pastaza (Ecuador) and Madrede Dios (Peru). These documents will helpto identify conicts related to overlappingthe rights of third parties with indigenous

territories, as well as design and implementconict resolutions strategies in selectedlandscapes. The same line of work willbe undertaken in Ucayali (Peru) andPiedemonte (Colombia).

More than two hundred public ofcialsamong prosecutors, judges and otherState representatives at the national andsubnational levels underwent training onenvironmental law, environmental offencesand regulations for illegal mining. ICAAcontributed to training efforts with the secondedition of the Guide to understanding small-scale mining and artisanal mining, andlegislative decrees related to illegal miningin Peru, that was distributed to government

agencies involved in these matters.

Three indigenous women who participatedin the training workshop on indigenous rightsand natural resources replicated everythinglearned in their communities. They trainedseventy-seven people during ve workshops,making use of material prepared by SU forthis purpose: videos, ip charts, manuals and

pamphlets, among others.

Main activities 2013 (ICAA-SU)

ICAA also implemented two mechanismsto facilitate the access of people, mainlyindigenous and those in rural communities,to environmental legal services: a radioprogram in Peru to inform the people of theirenvironmental rights; and Lnea Verde, a

telephone service for legal consultations inEcuador, that has already attended sixteenphone calls and provided assistance fortwo environmental claims: one from theMunicipality of Puyo against an auto repairservice due to contamination; the otherfrom the Ministry of Environment against aresident in Archidona due to illegal logging.

Finally, to improve transparency indecision-making, ICAA contributed tostrengthening the capacity of indigenouspeoples, indigenous organizations and civilsociety organizations on public policies,indigenous environmental rights andenvironmental legislation, and promotedthe dissemination of information through

reports and dialogue. It also supported thePermanent Inter-institutional CoordinationTable in the Amazon (Colombia); andRegional Monitoring Group for Megaprojectsin Ucayali (Peru), as well as organized aworkshop Analysis of the Implementationand Impacts of Infrastructure Projects inthe Andean Amazon, where more than 30regional organizations participated.

Economic Incentives forConservation (EIC)

The production and disseminationof information on EIC has increasedthrough the publication of documents onEconomic Incentives for Conservation,a conceptual framework, of which morethan seven hundred copies were handedout to government ofcials, universities,NGOs and representative organizations for

indigenous peoples in Colombia, Ecuadorand Peru. The book is available in digitalformat on the ICAA website (http://www.amazoniaandina.org/amazonia-activa/biblioteca/publicaciones/incentivos-economicos-paraconservacion-un-marco-conceptual).

The leaders of indigenous communities

were provided with training throughtraining workshops; they were providedwith material specically developed forthis purpose: the ip chart (in three parts)on climate change, EIC programs and theparticipation of indigenous peoples in theEIC programs; and radio micro- programs,elaborated in coordination with COICA andvalidated by the participants of indigenousexchanges (CEIC).

A process was initiated to generateinformation on decision-making andformulation of public policies related to theconservation of biological diversity in theAndean Amazon, through the elaboration ofan analysis on economic and tax incentivesimpacting the biodiversity of Colombia,Ecuador and Peru, in alliance with GIZ andCEPAL. Technical assistance was providedto the Ministry of Environment in Peru onthe issue of payments for hydrological

environmental services (PHES), by meansof an International Workshop on BenetSharing Mechanisms. A workshop wasrealized to present conservation tools forthe Cumbaza River Basin in collaborationwith the Regional Government of SanMartin and TNC.

The capacity of indigenous leaders and

community members was improved in theiruse of EIC programs, with a workshopSharing Indigenous Experiences: life plansand economic incentives for conservationthat included the participation of indigenousleaders of Colombia, Ecuador and Peru.COICA was provided with technicalassistance in the development of theindigenous REDD+ proposal.

In order to integrate ecosystemservices into development planning,ICAA organized together with GIZ, aworkshop incorporating the value andcharacterization of ecosystem services intolocal planning using TEEB mechanisms,in Tarapoto (Peru) and Bogota (Colombia).Sixty-two government ofcials participatedfrom countries working with the ICAA.


43/64


To improve policies and legal conditionson EIC, ICAA offered support to theMinistry of Environment and SustainableDevelopment of Colombia to analyzemonetary and tax incentives, and identifyreforms. The Provincial Government ofSucumbios in Ecuador was also providedassistance in the implementation of theordinance on environmental managementthat recognizes and values ecosystemsservices and includes EIC programs, as a

potential source for funding conservation.MINAM Peru also received assistance forthe revision of proposals regarding the Lawon Environmental Services, in debate by theEnvironmental Commission of the Congress.

Research and analysis

As a result of expert panels organized byICAA during the Meeting for Members ofICAA II in August, Cuenca, Ecuador, onehundred and twenty participants improvedtheir knowledge on key matters to supportconservation in the Amazon such as:biodiversity, indigenous peoples, gender andinvestments in infrastructure megaprojects.In addition, the ICAA scholarship program

has supported fourteen researchers of theAndean Amazon, who received training ontools for economic analysis to manage thepressures inuenced on the region. Fiveresearchers of the rst stage have alreadynished their investigations, and nine morehave been selected for the second stage ofscholarships to be implemented soon.
