The Sierra del Divisor Conservation Corridor Grouped Project, led by Fronterra, unites public, private, and community efforts to protect over 2 million hectares of rainforests.
Starting in Loreto region, it prioritizes forest conservation, biodiversity protection, and climate change mitigation while engaging six native and farming communities under Asociación de Pueblos 5 Unidos (APCU) in cocoa-based agroforestry and sustainable economic activities.
With advanced GIS powered by AI, the project ensures transparent reporting and integrates rigorous FPIC processes for strong community participation and safeguards.
Over time, the project aims to integrate additional areas, including regional and national protected areas, native communities, and forestry concessions, thereby forming a large-scale conservation corridor composed of different territorial categories. The overarching objective is to protect the entire Sierra del Divisor landscape—an extensive Amazonian area teeming with unique biodiversity and inhabited by indigenous communities, including uncontacted tribes living nomadly between the border of Peru and Brazil. The project ultimately aims to conserve c. 2 million hectares, establishing one of the world's largest PPCP conservation initiatives, while significantly reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and sequestering carbon permanently in these unique ecosystems.
Over 30 years, it protects vital landscapes, and reduces 121,664 tCO2 annually, or 3.65 million tCO2e over the period.

Community land physical and legal sanitation, as well as support to acquire land titling.
Governance strengthening and quality of life plans of communities and farmers cooperatives.
Reforestation with native species and sustainable forest management for timber, carbon capture and biodiversity.
Reforestation with sustainable cocoa-based agroforestry systems.
Biological Monitoring and Scientific Research.
Environmental Services Scheme (carbon and biodiversity).
The first phase of the project is being implemented in Loreto, in partnership with the native and rural communities of the Association of Communities Cinco Unidos (APCU, 5-Unidos), situated in the influence area of the National Park and Reserved Zone Sierra del Divisor. This phase represents a conservation and sustainable development effort aimed at implementing rainforest conservation initiatives and fostering sustainable value chains with APCU communities.
Key activities include reforesting degraded pastureland using cocoa-based agroforestry systems, prioritizing community empowerment, and promoting climate resilience. The involvement of APCU communities ensures that local stakeholders are at the core of these efforts, driving sustainable economic activities while generating climate mitigation and adaptation benefits for people and the environment.
