Project sees long-term success restoring forests in the high Andes: Study
Monga Bay reports
The Polylepis forests of Peru are some of the highest high-altitude forests in the world, playing an essential role in the water cycle.
Over the past few decades, various restoration projects have worked to restore Polylepis forests across their former range.
In 2022, researchers revisited a restoration project in Aquia, Peru, to understand what factors contributed to its success. The study concludes that stakeholder participation and formal conservation agreements helped the project succeed.
Over the past four years, initiatives by ECOAN and Accion Andina have built on previous success
