The objective of the Strengthening Biodiversity Conservation through the National Protected Areas Program Project for Peru is to contribute to the long-term ecological sustainability of the Peru's protected areas by expanding the ecological representativeness of the country's protected areas system and implementing conservation activities at various levels (national, regional, and private) within ecological corridors. There are four components to the project. The first component of the project is institutional and policy program at the national level. This component will support the development of policy guidelines, regulations and procedures for the integrated management of the Peru's national protected areas system and the design and implementation of a training and environmental awareness program. The second component of the project is ecological corridors program. This component will support the establishment and operation of selected ecological corridors, the development and implementation of alternative management models for project protected areas (PPA) in three selected corridors and the implementation of natural resources management subprojects in three selected corridors to mitigate acute pressure or threats to PPA. The third component of the project is financial sustainability of protected areas within selected ecological corridors. This component will support the capitalization of the protected areas trust fund in order to finance recurrent costs of the PPA, located within three corridors. The fourth component of the project is project management. This component will strengthen PROFONANPE's (Peruvian Trust Fund for National Parks and Protected Areas) capacity to carry out the administrative, financial and technical management of the project.
