📋 Tender Overview
The initiative seeks to strengthen the sustainable management of 120 thousand hectares, benefiting more than 7 thousand people and contributing to the protection of key water sources for the country.Highlighting the valuable contribution of nature in sustainable development, four protected natural areas in the regions of Junin, Lima, Pasco and Ancash will be the setting for the project Restoration of high Andean ecosystems in Peru, an initiative that will be implemented in the Huascaran National Park, the Junin National Reserve, the Nor Yauyos Cochas Landscape Reserve and the Huayllay National Sanctuary.
Its implementation is promoted by the Ministry of the Environment, through the National Service of Natural Areas Protected by the State (Sernanp), as a milestone in the conservation of mountain ecosystems, fundamental for water regulation, food security and resilience against climate change.
Thus, through this project, we seek to restore more than 44 thousand hectares of grasslands and strengthen the sustainable management of 120 thousand hectares, directly benefiting more than 7 thousand people and contributing to the protection of key water sources for the country.
The implementation of this initiative was carried out within the Huascaran National Park by the Vice Minister of Environmental Management of the Ministry of the Environment, Nelly Paredes del Castillo; and the head of this protected natural area, Abdias Villoslada.
In this framework, Vice Minister Paredes highlighted that this project seeks to contribute to the recovery and sustainable management of high Andean ecosystems that provide ecosystem services to improve peoples livelihoods, promoting the development of regional management instruments, strengthening the capacities of public and private actors, as well as the implementation of actions in 30 strategic landscapes.
Likewise, it was highlighted that this intervention will contribute to consolidating a sustainable development model that integrates conservation, responsible production and adaptation to climate change.
With this initiative, protected natural areas are positioned as natural spaces of national and international relevance, in the management of mountain ecosystems, consolidating concrete actions for the conservation of biodiversity and water security in Peru.
The data
It should be noted that high Andean ecosystems--such as grasslands, wetlands and relict forests--play an essential role in providing water for millions of Peruvians, especially in a context of glacial retreat and climate variability.
