The Sociedad Peruana de Derecho Ambiental was founded in 1986 to facilitate the effective implementation of regulations and standards, defend the public interest and implement creative management models in order to expand conservation and create environmental and economic sustainability. They empower citizens and institutions to understand and execute environmental policy through case studies and research papers, legal clinics and monitoring activities. The Sociedad is a long-time partner of our Andes-Amazon Initiative and is crucial to conservation efforts in Peru.
