Sociedad Peruana de Derecho Ambiental (SPDA) is one of Peru’s leading environmental law and policy organizations and a recipient of the MacArthur Award for Creative and Effective Institutions in 2006. SPDA has recently turned its focus to effectively responding to advancing monocultures, especially cacao and oil palm, in northern Peru. SPDA is analyzing agro-industrial development in the region, assessing its social and environmental consequences, making legal and policy recommendations for avoiding or mitigating negative effects, and expanding its pro bono legal assistance program. These efforts are key to establishing disincentives for poor land management, empowering civil society to respond to urgent environmental and social threats, and creating a model for addressing advancing monocultures in similar biodiversity-rich regions of Peru.
