under improved
stewardship
— a globally renowned haven of terrestrial biodiversity where the Tropical Andes meet the Amazon Basin.
• Territory: Kosñipata, Cusco — Manu National Park buffer zone
• Platform type: 36‑month structured, finance‑ready territorial platform (governance + execution capacity + ESG/MRV)
• Promise: ~11,000 ha under improved stewardship, strengthened community‑led operations, and governance for safeguards and transparent benefit‑sharing
Nature‑based solutions scale only when territories have what funding often overlooks: execution capacity, governance, and measurable performance. In the Manu buffer zone, where biodiversity value is globally significant, Huacaria addresses a common gap — moving from short‑term interventions to a territory‑owned platform that can mobilize sustainable financing while protecting ecosystems and strengthening local leadership.
Huacaria is designed as an integrated system that connects conservation outcomes with a transparent local economy:
• Governance‑first execution: clear decision rights, accountability, and benefit‑sharing rules
• Regenerative tourism as conservation finance: curated experiences that generate revenue aligned with biodiversity protection
• Safeguards & community fund: transparent rules to reinvest a share of revenue in conservation priorities
• Time‑series ESG/MRV: baseline + year‑to‑year comparability to support credible reporting
• Phase I (Months 1–12) — Foundation & de‑risking: governance, enabling infrastructure, capacity building, ESG baseline
• Phase II (Months 13–24) — Operational consolidation: controlled market activation, monitoring, revenue pilots, positioning
• Phase III (Months 25–36) — Stabilization & replication readiness: revenue stabilization, comparative ESG reporting, reinvestment, scale design
• ~11,000 ha under improved stewardship
• 3 curated experiences developed and market‑ready
• 01 Interpretation Center & basic infrastructure implemented
We are seeking partners to move Huacaria from structuring to implementation with integrity and measurable results:
• Donors & funds: fund Phase I (de‑risking, safeguards, ESG baseline) or co‑finance the full 36‑month platform
• Implementing partners: support community operations, capacity building, visitor management, and conservation integration
• Technical partners: biodiversity monitoring, MRV/ESG reporting, GIS/remote sensing
• Volunteers: proposal development, research, impact indicators, storytelling, and outreach
