Peru Formalizes Pay Scale and Indefinite Contracts for Park Rangers

The move ends a 17-year void in official salary rules for the frontline stewards of 78 protected areas.

Overview

  • President José Jerí led a ceremony at the Government Palace to implement the new remunerative scale and sign employment contracts for guardaparques.
  • Officials reported that nearly 800 rangers who protect 78 protected areas are covered under the special, indeterminate regime.
  • Law N.º 31991 recognizes atypical field schedules, establishes indefinite-duration contracts, and sets pay aligned with technical and territorial responsibilities.
  • The new regime includes benefits described as similar to DL 728, including gratifications, compensation for time of service (CTS), and allowances for challenging zones.
  • Sernanp conferred the title of Honorary Park Ranger on President Jerí during the event, with veteran ranger Emilio Aparicio taking part in the presentation.
