The province of Lamas consists of 11 districts (Lamas, Alonso Alvarado, Barranquita, Caynarachi, Cunumbuqui, Pinto Recodo, Rumisapa, San Roque de Cumbaza, Shanaoo, Tabalosos, Zapatero). The landscape is bordered on the north by the region of Loreto, on the south by the province of Picota, on the east by the province of San MartÃn, on the west by the provinces of Moyobamba and El Dorado.
The temperature at Lamas is usually between 22 and 30 °C. Total annual rainfall ranges from 900 - 2500 mm and increases between October and May.
Lamas presents two major units in terms of relief, the first corresponds to the Andes Mountain Range, which includes the Eastern Mountain Range and the Sub-Andean Mountain Range, the second unit is the Amazon Lowlands.
According to the distribution of vegetation and bioclimatic parameters, there are 3 natural life zones in the province: Tropical wet forest (T-wf), Tropical moist forest (T-mf), Tropical Basal Humid Forest and Tropical dry forest (T- df).
2. The main economic activities include farming, followed by animal husbandry and tourism. Farming is the primary subsistence activity of established families in the province, as well as its main source of economic income, since it is carried out in 100% of populated centers. The main crops in the province are coffee and cocoa, followed by corn, bananas, cassava, rice, oil palm, beans, sugar cane, cotton and sacha inchi. In terms of of animal husbandry, cattle, pigs and sheep are the most frequently reared. With regard to tourism, this is an activity with a very variable flow of visitors, the province reached its peak of visitors in 2018 with 32714 visitors, and declined to 12,884 by 2020 due to the impacts of the pandemic.
3. -Estrategia Regional de Desarrollo Rural Bajo en Emisiones. Promotes the development of the region in a sustainable manner, through the implementation of interventions in the various socio-environmental units present in the region's territory.
-Estrategia Regional de Cambio Climático. Seeks to address the hazards associated with climate change by developing strategies through a participatory process to achieve a resilient region, reducing its vulnerability and risk for the benefit of the environment, society and the regional economy.
- Estrategia Nacional de Restauración de Ecosistemas y Tierras Forestales Degradadas. Seeks to restore degraded ecosystems and forestlands through a landscape approach that ensures ecosystem goods and services for the benefit of the population by reducing the risks associated with the impacts of climate change.As far as climate change is concerned, an expansion of the coffee growing area was projected to higher areas in 2050 due to the increase in temperature caused by deforestation and shifting cultivation, it is important to mention that in 2021 Lamas had a cumulated deforested area of 2026.71 km². By 2050, the maximum annual temperature is forecast to be between 32 and 34°C in Lamas. For rainfall, it is estimated that by 2030 the total annual rainfall range will be between 1000 and 6000 mm. The effects of climate change will impact the landscape in various ways, such as reduced agricultural yields due to high temperatures, droughts and other extreme events. Moreover, the decrease in water supply will affect both irrigation and water supply for human consumption.
The hazard levels against certain natural phenomena projected until 2030 have been evaluated, with regard to flood risks, the districts of Barranquita and Cainarachi are at a medium level, while the remaining nine districts are at a very low level. With respect to landslide risk, due to the rugged geography and annual rainfall values, Lamas presents areas within its 11 districts that are at very low and medium levels of landslide exposure.
