authorities
Since Alto Mayo is not even a town (according to Wikipedia it's a forest, a protected area), any given title would have to too specific so a general title such as "authorities" might just work.

leadership
I think in this context that's best. The link has quite a detailed description of REDD+ structures.

management
Would this "jefatura" not be something like the National Park Authorities in the UK?
Something suitably generic like management (i.e. those responsible for managing the forest.
The second link from the US has a citation that mentions the management of forests in a similar context.

parkswatch report on the Alto Mayo Protected Forest
Although 10 years old, this document refers to *management* of the Alto Mayo Protected Forest:
http://www.parkswatch.org/parkprofiles/pdf/ampf_eng.pdf
"A director, three park guards and one administrative secretary currently manage Alto Mayo Protected Forest. The area has an administrative building that acts as the central office. There is also a motorcycle and a light truck, which is currently inoperative. The protected area does not have a single control point."

: this doesn't clarify the sense of 'management' as (possibly) in 'jefatura' as opposed to how an organisation is run
