📋 Tender Overview
University students and environmental promoters participated in the maintenance and labeled day of native forest species in said natural space, managed by the Minam.The trees of native species planted by the Ministry of Environment (Minam) in the National Ecological Park Papa Leo XIV, located in Ancon, are in optimal development and growth, the executive director of the aforementioned Special Project, Javier Orccosupa Rivera, reported.
In that sense, he said that in order to discourage that territory of desert relief, more than 300 trees of native species such as La Tara (Caesalpinia Spinosa), Molle Serrano (Schinus Molle), Palo Negro (Palo Negro (recordowskia boerhaviifolia), carob (Prosopis Pallida), Leucaena (Leucaena Leukocephala), Faique (acacia (Acacia (Acacia (Acacia Macracantha), Palo Verde (Parkinsonia Aculeata) and Molle Costeno (Schinus terbinthifolius).
To this are added two species of shrubs: Overo (Cordia Lutea) and Cuncun (Vallesia Glabra); and about 2500 herbaceous species installed at the foot of trees and shrubs. This as a Lomas Restoration Strategy that develops with low water consumption. The trees planted two years ago by the Minam with the participation of citizens now have a 3 -meter growth on average and a good survival trend in a coastal ecosystem.
In this ambitious sector initiative, techniques of efficient use of water resource such as drip irrigation with treated wastewater (supplied by Sedapal) are being applied from sedapal) from sedapal reservoirs in the upper part of the plantation zone. This is a practice that is framed in the circular economy model for water and organic solid waste that promotes the minam nationwide, said Javier Orcosupa.
Guided tour
In order to sensitize citizens about the importance and benefits of implementing sustainable cities in the country, Minam makes guided visits to said natural space. Precisely, around fifty students from a well -known private university in the capital visited the land of the Green Strip of the Papa Leo XIV National Ecological Park.
Minam specialists explained the sustainability approaches to the university students of the Environmental, Civil, Industrial, Electronic, Bioengineering and Mechatronics Engineering career, who also received information from the environmental promoters. All participated in a maintenance and labeling day of the seedlings, held on June 27.
The fight against desertification requires territorial solutions, citizen science and articulated work. This park is an example of ecological restoration in an urban context. This type of activities contributes to the conservation of coastal hill ecosystems against soil degradation, in addition to promoting an active citizen culture in favor of nature.
