Analysis of the Policies for Biodiversity Conservation in Peru

In this article an analysis of the policies for the conservation of biodiversity in Peru is made, based on the documentary analysis of scientific articles, laws and supreme decrees in force and proposals raised by the Peruvian State mainly through the Ministry of the Environment. Issues related to biodiversity conservation are exposed in general terms and specifically focused on current regulations, noting that the objectives and theoretical actions declared by the Peruvian government are very encouraging, but not very achievable in terms of results. Through a deep bibliographic search, the importance of the different social actors in the implementation of biodiversity policies is highlighted, since if they are not connected in a balanced way, any law would undermine its potential by being reduced to harmful and unsustainable incentives.
