NCI is focusing on creating and consolidating a Regional System of Protected Areas in the Region of Piura with the involvement of local governments and INRENA. Conservation efforts for endangered species, such as the white-winged guan and Peruvian plant-cutter, are underway with participation of local communities and regional governments.
NCI is coordinating with local and regional governments as well as the National Council of the Environment (CONAM) to establish a local system of environmental management and ecological and economic zoning. The initiative will provide both legal and technical support to local communities that initiate conservation measures to protect critical water sources in the region.
To increase the knowledge and assessment of this ecosystem, NCI is implements the DarwinNet Dry Forest Clearinghouse Mechanism, which promotes the importance of the natural wealth of an intact forest and the compelling necessity for measures to conserve it.
