Biodiversity Regeneration and Conservation

Reforestation Native Plants

For over four years, Responsible People has been working to restore the biodiversity of high Andean communities and the subtropical zones of Cusco, such as Bajo Urubamba, Quillabamba, and other towns that have experienced significant tree loss due to indiscriminate deforestation.

For many years, high Andean communities deforested vast areas of local trees to create land for crops, livestock, and firewood, leading to the loss of flora and fauna across these regions. The same has occurred in Bajo Urubamba, located in the subtropical part of Cusco.

Responsible People has set goals to reforest all the hectares lost to deforestation with the support of local people and volunteers. We have reforested a large area of Quenua trees in the community of Sondor Rumira and planted over 30,000 trees. This is just the beginning of this project, working together with the entire population and volunteers. Our goal is to restore the lost ecosystem.

To prevent further deforestation, we have implemented training for communities, students, and residents living in the buffer zones, creating work methods focused on the production and reforestation of local plants in nearby hills.

Responsible People purchases each tree from the locals, encouraging them to engage in the production of these plants as a source of income, especially in an economy impacted by time and exacerbated by COVID-19.

At Responsible People, we are committed to continuing our support and collaboration with communities to restore biodiversity. In this way, we can recover all the local trees, flora, and fauna that once thrived in these areas
