Résumé
At the international level, Peruvian communal reserves have been cited as a model for protected areas that is in line with policy recommendations by the 2003 World Conservation Union (IUCN) World Parks Congress for Community-Managed Protected Areas. Within Peru, proposals for communal reserves are multiplying: four of the six existing communal reserves have been created in the last three years, and at the time of writing, at least six more proposals were in preparation. But as positive as it is that the category of communal reserve is attracting such interest, within Peru it is still an experimental category for which legislation is under development. Two distinct but related issues are as yet unresolved: first, a fundamental difference between conservation and indigenous perspectives of the purpose of communal reserves; and second, the development of a mechanism for management that meets the requirements of the Peruvian System of National Protected Areas while retaining flexibility and minimizing the bureaucratic and administrative burden on participating communities.
