Item type:Publication, Reflexión introductoria: los bosques del Perú desde una mirada compleja(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú. Instituto de la Naturaleza, Tierra y Energía (INTE-PUCP), 2023-09-12)Essay on the issue of the situation of forests in Peru. It presents, in a concise manner, the contributions of the articles from the special dossier «Forests and Sustainable Development in Peru: An Interdisciplinary Perspective». It includes reflections on the actions and policies that the State has been carrying out; analysis of how businesses and the population use forests, some from a historical perspective and others with more contemporary approaches. The texts in the dossier are presented according to the classic division of Peruvian geography: coast, highlands, and jungle. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Pérdida de bosques amazónicos por expansión urbana en el Perú(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú. Instituto de la Naturaleza, Tierra y Energía (INTE-PUCP), 2023-08-29)The occupation of peri-urban areas in the eight largest Amazonian cities is studied, along with its impact on forest conservation, in order to identify conditions associated with greater or lesser loss of peri-urban forests. For this purpose, a comparative analysis of demographic and spatial indicators is conducted, as well as a spatial analysis of recent urban growth over forested areas. Furthermore, challenges for the conservation of peri-urban forests are discussed based on key territorial dynamics and existing mechanisms for territorial planning and management. It is identified that the greater pressure from urban growth on peri-urban forests is mainly linked to migratory processes and regional economic dynamics related to mining and tourism activities. Likewise, the trend towards reduced population and housing density in new expansion areas, along with an increase in the real estate supply for secondary residences, poses a threat to sustainability. Peri-urban roads concentrate deforestation areas and future urban expansion, highlighting the need to enhance mechanisms for environmental impact assessment of road infrastructure and focus efforts on sustainable land management measures in these zones. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, La producción de nuevas naturalezas en la alta Amazonía peruana (1940-1981) y las tesis de Ester Boserup(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú. Instituto de la Naturaleza, Tierra y Energía (INTE-PUCP), 2023-08-31)The purpose of this work is to describe the historical, population, economic, and environmental conditions that led to the expansion of the agricultural and demographic frontier in the Peruvian high jungle, particularly in the Alto Huallaga basin, during the decades spanning from 1940 to the early 1980s. The text describes and analyzes how the dynamics of demographic frontier expansion, through highland-origin settler farmers, exerted intense pressure on natural resources, subsequent environmental degradation, and eventually regional demographic saturation. The migrant settlers continually reproduced their family units of production and consumption in frontier territories, thereby creating new natures and destroying others in the process. In this context, we aim to explore the links between demographic growth in the Alto Huallaga and the slash-and-burn agricultural systems that accompanied them, as well as the socio-environmental consequences and the ongoing feedback dynamics between these processes. In doing so, we put to the test the model of land use extensification and intensification proposed by economist Ester Boserup. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Deforestación de la costa peruana: rasgos de un proceso secular(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú. Instituto de la Naturaleza, Tierra y Energía (INTE-PUCP), 2023-09-07)This study seeks to identify the main factors that have most directly influenced the coastal deforestation process on a secular scale are identified. There are five factors that can be identified as generators of coastal forest deterioration: domestic use for construction and use of firewood for cooking food; use of wood in mining and metallurgical activities and employment in shipbuilding as well as in land transport with the arrival and spread of railways.
