Peru has great natural wealth, with landscapes and spaces such as protected natural areas that offer unique experiences in harmony with the environment. However, the care of these places is essential, because more than 90% of the forest fires recorded in the country are caused by human carelessness.
These events generate serious impacts on the flora and fauna, as well as on the livelihoods of the communities, so their prevention is a shared responsibility.
In this context, Minam recommends that visitors opt for formal tourist services, reduce the use of plastics, avoid making bonfires in forested areas and not leave waste that could cause fires, such as glass or flammable materials; In addition, take waste to recycling points.
If you detect smoke or fire, immediately report to the local authorities and follow the instructions of the park rangers, especially if you are within a Protected Natural Area (PNA).
In this way, Minam remembers that enjoying nature also means protecting it, promoting responsible practices that ensure the conservation of our ecosystems and the sustainable use of the countrys natural destinations for future generations.
