The Landscape

The Lamas landscape is located in San Martin, Peru, with an area of 2,023.48 km2, and includes a large part of the Cordillera Escalera Regional Conservation Area (ACR-CE in Spanish), which is home to a diversity of flora and fauna species, as well as indigenous territories. The main economic activity in the landscape is agriculture, followed by livestock production (mainly cattle), tourism, and timber forestry (although with less production compared to other activities ), all of which are directly or indirectly dependent on and impact the local ecosystems. The landscape has 53,534 inhabitants, which represents approximately 6% of the population of the province of San Martin. Of the landscape population, 10.4% self-identify as part of an indigenous ethnic group, as members of one of 8 native communities found in the landscape (CCNN in Spanish). The landscape can be divided into two large areas: the lower-altitude areas are dominated by annual crops, pastures, and grassland, while the upper-altitude areas are predominantly hill forests, whose slopes are home to coffee crops associated with shade species. The ACR-CE, dominated by mountain forests, covers 19% of the landscape and aims to protect flora species such as orchids and fauna such as the collared peccary, South American tapir, or blue-billed curassow.  However, there has been an accumulated loss of 170.16 km2 of forest in the region since 2001, which has impacted the levels of poverty, malnutrition, loss of water quality and quantity, low productivity in cocoa and coffee, and loss of biodiversity in the landscape population.  A constant threat to the landscape is deforestation due to the advance of agriculture by new migrants and activities such as cattle ranching. These threats go back decades as ongoing migration has caused higher human intervention in the forested areas. Currently, forests in the headwaters are under high pressure as migrants establish new coffee production in those areas because many farmers associate these higher altitude zones with better prices and higher quality of coffee. If there is no change in the current production systems, studies estimate that changing land conditions due to climate change will cause a decrease in suitable coffee areas at lower altitudes (1000-1500 masl), and an increase in suitable coffee growing areas at higher altitudes, resulting in an expansion of coffee in high-altitude, ecologically-sensitive forests.
