Activities conducted towards compliance

In 2013, 25 field verifiers were programmed to confirm the existence of cedar and mahogany that were declared in the annual Operative plans of the Forestry Concessions and licenses of native communities of the departments of Loreto, Madre de Dios and Ucayali, of which 24 field verifications were carried out.

For 2014, 29 field verifications were programmed to confirm the existence of cedar and mahogany declared in the annual Operative plans of Forestry Concessions and licenses of Native Communities in the departments of Loreto, Madre de Dios and Ucayali, of which 09 field verifications have been carried out until 06.30.2014.

This figure is principally due to the fusion process of the DGFFS and SERFOR.

In general, the personnel of the DGFFS (central HQ and ATFFS) in 2009 was 638. In 2011, total personnel was 418. In February of 2012, total personnel was 362.

Between the period of 2013 – 2014, we relied on 502 people (the transfer of functions with the consequent elimination of the ATFFS should be considered).

Between 2013 and 2014 (30.06.2014) 158 persons were hired amongst professionals and technicians for the Technical Administrations of Forestry and Wild Fauna at a national level and at the central headquarters to cover diverse posts such as control posts, among others.

By means of Supreme Decree N° 094-­2014-­EF, the authorization of the transfer of goods in the public sector budget of the Ministry of Agriculture and Irrigation was approved for the year 2014 in favor of the Regional Governments of Amazonas, Ayacucho, Huánuco, La Libertad, Loreto, Madre de Dios, San Martín, Tumbes y Ucayali for a total of S/. 1 720 000,00, to finance Activity 5000276 Program Management, Product 3000001

1. Budget Program “Improvement in the Conservation of biodiversity and the sustainable use of natural resources in Protected Natural Areas;; which looks to prevent and mitigate the generative effects of direct change to the ecosystems of protected natural areas, caused by bad human practices in activities like illegal logging, ranching, agriculture, and mining, among others, that are carried out in the interior of protected natural areas. For which the following lines of intervention have been defined: strengthening the systems of control and vigilance, physical and legal sanitation, restoration of degraded spaces, consent of rights for the sustainable use of natural resources in the interior of protected natural areas, and monitoring of all of the above. The implemented budget in the year 2012 was approximately S/. 16 million, in 2013 it increased to S/. 35 million and for the year 2014, we anticipate S/. 39 million.

§ In the frame of a cooperative agreement signed between SERNANp and Conservation International (CI) during the years 2011-­2012, the deforestation project was carried out avoided in the Alto Mayo Protection Forest, that sought to reduce the deforestation rate of the primary forests in the protected natural areas and its Zone of deadening and strengthen the leadership’s administration of protected natural areas by means of the endowment of human and financial resources for a sum of approximately S/ 2.4 million.

§ In 2012, 9,400 patrols were conducted in 63 protected natural areas. In 2013, we managed to conduct 9,649 patrols in 67 NPA that allowed the development of anthropic activities, which generate negative effects on conservation, to be prevented and mitigated. For the year 2014, we expect an increase of the pervious figure to 10,000 patrols (between routine and special) in the same number of NPAs.

§ In the frame of administrative contracts comitted to the benefit of Blue Mountain Range National Park, Alto Mayo Forest Protection, Salinas and Aguada Blanca National Reserves, and Bahuaja Sonene National Park, the commercialization of carbon bonds was launched through projects that reduced greenhouse gas emissions and acted as an investment opportunity for forest conseration in PNA.

This in order to develop volume conversion tables for the regions of Ucayali and Madre de Dios.

• According to field work, some points from the methodology that need to be improved, reformulated and updated, were identified.

• A schedule for the implementation of performance studied was developed.

• In order to facilitate performance studies on the primary processing plants (sawmills), in mid-­2011 the Ministerial Resolution project was developed. On it the approval of the "Methodology for estimating the performance coefficient of round wood to timber for primary processing plants (sawmills)” was recommended to be developed. It also recommended the appeal of the Ministerial Resolution No. 021-­2010-­ AG. The Methodology in question is national is national in scope and will be implemented by all the primary processing plants (sawmills ) that carry out performance studies in order to demonstrate various performance ratios different from the ones approved by the National Authority of forestry and Wild Fauna.

• It is scheduled to continue field studies to validate methodologies (the standing tree to log and the log to sawnwood) approved by Departmental Resolution No. 159-­2008 -­ INRENA so that they can be restated.

• It is considered necessary to implement, reformulate and update important points from the Methodologies, such as:

ü Define the measuring instrument fo DAP (laser device, caliper, diameter tape, etc.). ü Stablish the position ü Establish the position (standing or felled tree) from the individual to be assessed for taking readings. ü Define the concept of commercial height (HC). ü Standardize the position for taking Reading from DAP for individuals with stage roots (fins). ü Sample size. ü Form factors.
