PetroTal's Reforestation Project in Peru Achieves Nearly 68% Vegetation Recovery Rate

en.Wedoany.com Reported - PetroTal's reforestation project covering nearly 8 hectares of Amazon rainforest in the "June 7" indigenous community in the Puinahua district of Loreto, Peru, has achieved phased results following a 2025 monitoring assessment. The approximately 7.45 hectares of intervened forestland involved in the project saw a vegetation cover recovery rate of nearly 68%, and infrared cameras have recaptured various local mammals such as ocelots, anteaters, otters, and opossums.

This reforestation project is part of PetroTal's commitments under the environmental impact study and logging permits related to oil development. The restoration process selected Amazonian native tree species with strong adaptability and significant growth advantages, including tamara, punga, bolaina negra, amasisa, camu camu, ubo, shimbillo, and capirona.

The project was led by PetroTal, with technical support from the Peruvian Amazon Research Institute (IIAP), and maintained close collaboration with the "June 7" indigenous community. Community members directly participated in seedling cultivation, planting, and maintenance work.

PetroTal's Vice President of Sustainable Development, Raúl Farfán, presented the project's progress at the First National Conference on Ecosystem and Forest Land Restoration, jointly organized by the National Forest and Wildlife Service (Serfor) and the Peruvian College of Engineers (Colegio de Ingenieros del Perú). Farfán stated that this achievement relies on effective cooperation among enterprises, government, communities, and professional institutions.
