Active Restoration
Summary
The Upper Araza Basin in the province of Paucartambo, Peru has three distinct ecosystems, including: yungas forests, the Japu Protected Area, and the Ukumary Llaqta Forest. In collaboration with local communities in the region, this project aims to restore degraded areas caused by forest fires and overuse of high Andean forests through production and reforestation with native species, education on proper livestock handling and pasture grazing, and improved nursery management.
