  • Figures

    The project was launched on January 1, 2026 and is currently in the starting phase.

Summary

This project helps companies, communities, and local authorities work together to grow nature-positive businesses in Tambopata and beyond. These initiatives show that protecting forests can also create strong and diverse livelihoods. We build on successful pilots by helping local enterprises become more visible, enter new markets, and attract investments that respect people and nature. We also support clean energy and responsible transportation, so new ideas can expand without harming the forest. As more partners connect and collaborate, the region becomes a hub of innovation. Progress is reflected in changing practices, values, and stories, proving that a thriving future for both people and nature is within reach.
