From the US state department press release (http://www.state.gov/r/pa/prs/ps/2008/oct/111051.htm ), it sounds like the debt will be "forgiven" AND (somehow) money raised (by whom? how?) will go into a conservation fund. Maybe this means that Peru promises to invest million in the tropical forests. Good luck, as you say, depending on the Peruvian government to live up to that promise. With Garcia saying the uncontacted tribes are a "myth" and the government's permitting illegal logging to continue, I don't see Peru demonstrating a real commitment to preserving its tropical zones.
