CONAP

What CONAP does

CONAP (Confederación de Nacionalidades Amazónicas del Perú) is a non-profit indigenous confederation founded in 1987 that represents more than 900 native communities across seven Amazonian regions of Peru, organized through 70+ base federations. Its mandate covers land titling, forest conservation, climate finance, and indigenous economic development, and it operates as the recognized political voice of Peruvian Amazonian peoples in national and international forums.

Operationally, CONAP deploys drone-based territorial monitoring to support land titling and deforestation surveillance across remote Amazonian territories, and runs project portfolios spanning community land formalization, reforestation across 24 communities, indigenous enterprise development, and emerging forest carbon credit work. Delivery is executed through a distributed federation model with a central Technical Director (Rocío Escudero) coordinating member organizations.

CONAP has no commercial revenue. It is funded almost entirely by project-tied grants from international cooperation agencies and environmental donors, including NORAD, Rainforest Trust, the World Bank, the Inter-American Development Bank, USAID, UNDP, and FAO. The economic model is therefore grant-cycle driven, with operating budget and headcount scaling to the cadence and priorities of bilateral and multilateral donors rather than to market demand.

Direct peers

• Pronaturaleza: Peruvian conservation NGO that jointly implements CONAP's flagship Indigenous Economy and Deforestation-Free Territorial Governance project; a direct implementing partner with overlapping indigenous community programming and forest conservation objectives in Peru.
• AIDESEP: Interethnic Association for the Development of the Peruvian Amazon — the other major national indigenous Amazonian confederation in Peru, representing a parallel network of indigenous federations and communities on territorial rights, conservation and political advocacy.
• COICA: Coordinator of Indigenous Organizations of the Amazon Basin — the regional umbrella of Amazonian indigenous organizations across nine countries. Directly comparable as a higher-tier confederation coordinating indigenous advocacy, land rights, and forest conservation across the Amazon.

Emerging players

• Rainforest Foundation Norway: Major funder of indigenous land rights and forest conservation globally, including in Peru. Comparable as a key financing counterpart for indigenous Amazonian territorial work, often partnering with organizations like CONAP.
• Amazon Watch: US-based NGO focused on protecting the Amazon and advancing indigenous rights in Peru, Brazil, Ecuador and Bolivia. Comparable mission around indigenous territorial defense and rainforest conservation advocacy.
• Forest Peoples Programme: International NGO that supports forest-dependent indigenous peoples' rights, including in the Peruvian Amazon. Operates in the same thematic space of indigenous land tenure, rights advocacy, and forest governance.

Others

• RAISG: Amazonian Network of Georeferenced Socio-Environmental Information — a network of indigenous and civil society organizations producing socio-environmental data across the Amazon. Adjacent enabler working closely with CONAP and similar federations on territorial monitoring.
• World Resources Institute (WRI): Global research organization that works on forest monitoring, indigenous land rights, and climate finance — operating an adjacent, enabling layer (data, policy) that supports organizations like CONAP in territorial monitoring and advocacy.

Regional players

• Sociedad Peruana de Ecodesarrollo (SPDE): Peruvian environmental NGO working on indigenous rights, conservation and sustainable development in the Amazon, with overlapping community-level engagement and policy advocacy.

Broad incumbents

• Conservation International - Peru: Global conservation organization with active programs in the Peruvian Amazon on forests, indigenous partnerships, and climate. Overlaps with CONAP on conservation objectives but operates as a broad international incumbent rather than an indigenous-led organization.
