Reducing the felling and burning of forests is an unavoidable task in the process of reversing the causes of climate change. The Paris Agreement aims to keep the increase in the average temperature of the planet below 2C, with the aspiration to be below 1.5C. As many specialists point out, this objective will not be attainable without the conservation of forests. Exceeding this threshold will put us, as a global society and as a human species, in the face of negative changes with dramatic consequences and in all probability irreversible. The role of forests in mitigating climate change is fundamental and widely recognized. But conserving forests is much more: their role in adapting to changes is equally fundamental, as is their role as provider of various ecosystem services, such as water, and for hosting an impressive biodiversity -increasingly recognized as a source of benefits to humanity and in particular the populations living in or from forests. The National Contributions presented by Peru to the UNFCCC establish a 30% reduction in projected emissions by 2030, two thirds of which corresponds to the land use, land use change and forestry (LULUCF) sector, fundamentally associated with GHG emissions from deforestation, carried out by felling and burning forests mainly to allocate the land for agricultural use, not always on soils with the capacity to support these uses in a sustainable manner. The causes of these processes, direct and indirect, are complex and interact with each other. The measures to deal with them are equally diverse and complex. As a country, we need clarity on the processes that lead to forest loss, associated with GHG emissions, but also to the reduction of biodiversity and the livelihoods of local populations, particularly indigenous peoples. This Strategy constitutes an effort to understand and dimension the problem of deforestation, its direct and indirect causes, the actors, the economic activities that produce them, but also to identify the necessary measures to apply to face them. A fundamental finding that guides the design of the interventions is the strongly economic nature of the deforestation process and, in the case of the Amazon, its majority link with agricultural production models that are unsustainable -due to the conjunction of the natural conditions of the Amazonian soils, the climate, the economic limitations of producers and weaknesses associated with governance but also with markets and the provision of financial and non-
