About this project
Description
The objective of the project is to protect, conserve and sustainably manage the lomas ecosystems in the Province of Lima. The project aims to promote improved conditions for the conservation of these rare and fragile ecosystems which support a number of globally significant species and to decrease the risks of their degradation. In doing this, the project will work with local stakeholders to formalize and strengthen successful local community ecosystem management efforts, as well as promoting the replication of these to other loma sites. To achieve these objectives, the project is structured along a series of strategic initiatives. An urgent first step is to establish protected areas for the core lomas ecosystems in the Municipality of Lima. The protected areas will be complemented by extensive buffer zones demarcation and the provision of low impact recreational facilities between urban fringes of the city and the protected areas, as well as investments in vegetation recovery in key areas of the lomas area of influence. Finally a series of governance tools will be developed to further encourage a participatory approach to an integrated management of the lomas. These activities will be supplemented by a monitoring component.
Objectives
Contribute to an integrated management and protection of fragile lomas ecosystems in the Province of Lima.
