Reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD+) program is a mechanism developed by Parties of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), which aims at creating a financial value for the carbon stored in forests from developing countries, and contributing to the mitigation of climate change, as well as create social and environmental benefits to stakeholders. Nonetheless, some studies suggest that this program has faced some challenges during its implementation. This study focuses on a REDD+ pilot project developed in the Peruvian Amazon, in an area considered as the biodiversity capital of Peru and one of the world’s most important biodiversity hotspots. This study aims at describing (1) the main economic, environmental, and social limitations/challenges that have faced the “Tambopata National Reserve and Bahuaja-Sonene National Park REDD+ project” during its implementation, and (2) to discuss what general lessons can be learned from this project. For this, the study comprises a literature review on cases studies of REDD+, and then a documentary analysis of documents that relate specifically to the REDD+ project examined. Likewise, semi-structured interviews were carried out with the main actors of this project. The third step is to explain and discuss the field results. This study finds that the REDD+ pilot project has to face many challenges before starting to generate money from the sale of carbon credits. In this particular case, the project did not have to deal with land tenure issues nor social problems during its implementation. Nonetheless, it has had to face stiff opposition from the former governor of Madre de Dios, who promoted mining activities close to the project area. Furthermore, this case has shown that this REDD+ pilot project has helped to halt deforestation in the project area. However, this is not addressing the actors who are primarily responsible for deforestation and forest degradation in the Tambopata province, where deforestation has increased in the last years.
