Presidential Resolution No. RP 026/2014/SERNANP: Directive on the commercialization of rights generated by conservation projects of natural ecosystems present within nationally administered protected natural areas

The Directive approved by Presidential Resolution N° RP 026/2014/SERNANP establishes guidelines for commercializing rights generated by conservation projects in Peru's protected natural areas. This regulatory instrument governs the mechanisms for valuing and trading ecosystem services such as carbon sequestration, watershed protection, and biodiversity conservation. The directive defines procedures, requirements, and institutional responsibilities for implementing conservation projects with the potential to generate economic benefits. It represents a significant advance in creating incentives for conservation, enabling financial sustainability of protected areas and benefits for local communities through environmental market mechanisms.
