20 Years of Responsible Forest Management

About Us

We are a forestry company, established in 2002, that manages over 300,000 hectares of natural tropical forests in the Peruvian Amazon with a ecosystem-based approach. Since 2007, we hold the largest and oldest Forest Stewardship Council (FSC®) forest management and chain of custody certificate in Peru. Since 2020, this certification also covers the Ecosystem Services for Biodiversity Conservation and Carbon Sink Storage.
Our climate projects, under the REDD+ scheme, implement activities since 2009 to reduce deforestation within our area of influence. These are certified by the Voluntary Carbon Standard (VCS) and Climate, Community, and Biodiversity (CCB), under a Gold label for biodiversity. This allows us not only to protect forests, and promote sustainable development for rural communities in the Peruvian Amazon Rainforest; but also, to have a global impact, contributing to climate change mitigation.

¡MADERACRE, a nature-based solution that enhances communities' thrive.

Nearly one-third of tropical forests are designated for timber production. However, poorly managed commercial logging can degrade ecosystems and fragment habitats, threatening biodiversity. On the other hand, when logging is managed responsibly, it has the potential to support local livelihoods and economic development while also conserving biodiversity and other vital services that forests provide. There are several examples of sustainable forest management, such as Maderacre and its REDD+ initiatives, which have positively contributed to the sustainable management of the Tahuamanu forests by helping reduce deforestation in the region and generating formal employment. WWF has been involved in research within Maderacre’s concession, which has added valuable knowledge on forest management and conservation."

"Research conducted by our partner, San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance, has demonstrated that Maderacre’s sustainable forest management in the Tahuamanu region and its REDD+ initiatives have helped reduce deforestation and conserve wildlife in the area. Specifically, these forests are home to 106 species of mammals (20% of all terrestrial mammals in Peru) and support the second-largest jaguar population density (4/100 km²) after the Pantanal in Brazil."
