- Description
- Located in the upper part of the Araza Basin in the province of Paucartambo, this landscape has a wide altitudinal gradient from 1,500m to 5,200m (4,921ft to 17,060ft). Within the region, there are three distinct ecosystems, including yungas forests with humid puna grasslands, the Japu Protected Area, and the Ukumary Llaqta Forest that covers 18,600 hectares. The restoration project implementation takes place between altitudes of 3,000m to 4,500m (9,843ft to 14,764ft), which is the range where most local communities are settled in the region.
