Centro Amazónico de Antropología y Aplicación Práctica (CAAAP)

The Amazon Center for Anthropology and Practical Application (CAAAP) is a non-profit civil association serving vulnerable populations in the Amazon, especially indigenous peoples, founded in 1974 by the nine Bishops of the Catholic Church of the Peruvian jungle. Likewise, it also coordinates the Pan-Amazon Ecclesial Network (REPAM) in Peru and takes part in several platforms and alliances in defence of the Amazon.

The CAAAP collaborates with indigenous peoples to develop their negotiation skills, management of socio-environmental conflicts and political incidence; contributing to the enforcement of their human rights, environmental governance and indigenous state institutions, in alliance with other national and international actors.
