In May, a 1st day of planting of 100 trees, of the species Tecoma Stans Hunguay and Koelreuteria Paniculata Papelillo was made.With the technical advice and support of the National Forest and Wildlife Service (Serfor) of the Ministry of Agrarian Development and Irrigation, the installation of more than 300 trees was carried out in the headquarters of the First Brigade of the Special Forces of the Army of Peru so far this year.
On a first day, 100 seedlings of the Tecoma Stans, Hienguay and Koelreuteria Paniculata, known as Papelillo were installed. While in this second 213 trees of the ornamental use species Papelillo were planted.
The objective of this activity, where more than 60 members of the Army Special Forces Brigade participated, is to contribute to the ecosystem services available in the military enclosure such as the improvement of air quality, thermal regulation and the generation of a healthy environment, among other benefits.
The executive director of the Serfor, Erasmus Otarola Acevedo, indicated that more than 80 % of the Peruvian population lives in cities, many of which face critical challenges to offer adequate services and healthy environments, therefore, promoting the installation of green areas and wooded spaces, is a priority action.
Urban forestry must be articulated between the different levels of government and civil society, so we are here implementing green infrastructure solutions at different scales, with multiple uses and concrete benefits for our cities, said the head of the SERFOR.
In addition, he informed that with the Special Forces Brigade of the Army of Peru, a joint work plan has been established with the Lima Parks Service (SERPAR) that contemplates the installation of a total of 720 seedlings between trees and shrubs, as well as the technical advice for planting and its maintenance.
The Technical Administrator of the Forest and Wildlife Technical Administration of Lima, Cesar Menendez, the Deputy Director of Green Areas of Serpar, Luis Ramirez Garcia and the General Commander of the First Brigade of the Special Forces of the Army of Peru, Ricardo Rosado Zelada, who expressed their desire to continue with the joint work participated in the plantation.
This effort represents a significant step towards improving green spaces within the barracks, reaffirming the commitment of special forces to the protection of the environment and the well -being of their staff.
The Serfor from its promoter of urban forestry will be in charge of delivering the seedlings and responsible for providing technical assistance for their management.
