Summary
In the Reserva de Biosfera Gran Pajatén, a UNESCO-recognized site spanning nearly 25,097 km² across three Peruvian departments, integrated fire management strategies have been developed to protect the delicate ecosystems of the Páramo and Yungas. The Bosque Modelo Río Huayabamba - Abiseo (BMRHA), established in 2015, combines conservation efforts across multiple concessions and the Río Abiseo National Park, serving as a model for sustainable fire prevention and response in Sudamérica. This initiative highlights the importance of collaborative management in preserving mixed natural and cultural heritage sites, offering lessons for global biodiversity conservation.
