A review of the situation of forest management in Peru is carried out, particularly in the Amazon region, using the United Nations' definition of sustainable forest management as a reference. This definition is based on: (i) the extent of forest resources; (ii) forest biological diversity; (iii) the health and vitality of forests; (iv) productive functions; (v) protective functions; (vi) socio-economic functions; and (vii) the regulatory, institutional, and policy framework. Based on the review of available information on these aspects, the current situation of deforestation is illustrated, which reduces forest coverage and diminishes the provision of ecosystem services. Risks of unsustainability in the utilization of certain resources, such as species listed in the CITES Convention, are identified. Inappropriate situations regarding limited access to resources for certain stakeholders a...
