Abstract The Project Biological Diversity of Peruvian Amazonia is a three-year cooperation project between Peru and Finland. Its overall objective is conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity in Peruvian Amazonia through development of methodologies for sustainable management. The Project develops tools for management of biodiversity through development of regional biodiversity strategy and action plans and establishment of a biodiversity information system in order to make the information accessible to the scientific community, decision-makers and other information users and producers. Also, the Project focuses on getting information on and understanding biodiversity patterns in the lowland forest of Peruvian Amazonia through development of methods to assess biodiversity using remote sensing (satellite images) and ground-truthing by using plant and animal groups as indicators of different forest types. The Project applies the above-mentioned methods
