But do we really know how much natural wealth we have and how to use it responsibly? The answer is in the National Inventory of Natural Heritage, prepared by the Ministry of the Environment (Minam), in collaboration with various institutions.
This publication is the main source of information about our riches and brings together strategic data on ecosystems, natural resources, and species of flora and fauna. Through its content, you can learn about its current environmental state and its potential that sustains life and is the engine of national development; and the challenges they face for their effective conservation.
Here you can access information about natural spaces, water resources, forests, flora and fauna; minerals, energy, soils and genetic resources, among other aspects, in order to facilitate their sustainable use for the benefit of people and future generations.
In this inventory, 36 continental ecosystems have been recorded, two marine ecoregions, 75.5 million hectares of forests (almost 60% of the national territory), more than 25,000 species of flora (several that are unique in the world), around 12,000 lagoons and an enormous potential for hydroelectric, solar and wind energy.
Likewise, it shows where the main water sources are, the areas with mining potential and the most valuable areas for their biodiversity.
The information is useful for authorities at the three levels of government, specialists, universities, researchers, companies, communities and citizens in general, to make informed decisions based on the knowledge of how nature works and how it can contribute to the well-being of people and the social and economic growth of the country.
