The San Pedro de Vice Mangrove is a unique type of tropical forest with nationally and internationally protected species of flora and fauna and represents a refuge and feeding area for migrating birds, reproduction and growth of invertebrates and carob ecosystem.

In 2008, San Pedro Mangrove was designated the 13th RAMSAR Site in Peru. With this background, in 2013, the Pilot Project on Local Management was initiated through the formation of a Participatory Management Committee. This Committee has the purpose of ensuring the conservation of the mangrove based on the design of management tools, becoming one of the pioneers in the management of wetlands in the country.
