ACP Ni Meraya

Why an ACP?

Private Conservation Areas (ACP) are private properties owned by natural or legal persons, which contain representative samples of the natural ecosystem characteristic of the environment in which they are located, and which are voluntarily conserved by their owners.

These areas are recognised by the Peruvian State and the Ministry of the Environment. In this sense, the ACPs are an instrument that allows individuals, families, communities, organisations, companies and/or any private entity that holds a property right to participate in the conservation of biodiversity.

The Flora of Ni Meraya
