ORDENANZA REGIONAL N° Olct-2014-GRSM/CR

This ordinance aims to establish the Unidad de Manejo Forestal Comunitario (UMFC) in the San Martín Region, as an instrument for providing services and information to communities and for communities in the region. The UMFC is intended to promote the sustainable management of forest resources, particularly in areas inhabited by indigenous peoples, such as the Awajun, Kichwa, and Shawi (Kanpupiyapi) communities. These communities have been participating in regional policies, including community forest management, and have expressed their need for a more effective and efficient system for managing their natural resources. The ordinance recognizes the importance of respecting the rights of indigenous peoples, including their right to prior consultation and informed participation in decision-making processes that affect their lands, territories, and resources. It also acknowledges the need to promote the conservation and sustainable use of forest resources, as well as the protection of the environment and the well-being of local communities. The UMFC will be responsible for providing technical assistance and support to communities in the San Martín Region, as well as for promoting the development of community-based forest management plans. The ordinance establishes criteria for prioritizing the implementation of the UMFC in areas inhabited by indigenous peoples, with the goal of promoting sustainable development and improving the livelihoods of local communities.
