Indigenous Management of Protected Natural Areas in the Peruvian Amazon
The Indigenous Management of Protected Natural Areas in the Peruvian Amazon (Span. Proyecto GEF) is a program funded by the World Bank and managed by the Fund for the Promotion of Protected Natural Areas of Peru (Span. PROFONANPE) to include the indigenous communities of the Peruvian Amazon in the determination, co-management and evaluation of the environmental policies of National Protected Natural Areas. The primary objectives are both the empowerment and active participation of indigenous communities in the management of the natural reserves in which they inhabit, as well as increasing the sustainability of biodiversity conservation. It was implemented through consultative processes, assemblies, committees, evaluations and awareness programs by the local communities themselves.

Mode of Selection of Participants: is the innovation open to all participants, access is restricted to some kind of condition, or both methods apply?
Type of participants: those who participate are individual citizens, civil society organizations, private stakeholders or a combination of those?
Decisiveness: does the innovation takes binding, non-binding or no decision at all?
