IRI Peru convened allied specialists to analyze the Amazon protection agenda under the newly elected Congress. Participants included representatives of Colectivo PAS, which focuses on illegal mining, as well as Mariano Castro, Iván Brehaut and José Álvarez. The discussion recognized that the political landscape remains uncertain and difficult for forest protection, but also identified the need to engage individual members of Congress with interest, credibility or influence on Amazon issues. The meeting helped define an approach focused on mapping allies, building issue-based collaboration and maintaining legislative vigilance. By grounding its advocacy in political analysis and expert guidance, IRI Peru is strengthening its ability to respond quickly to threats and openings in the new Congress.
