by Carolina Espinoza (Author), Victor Peña (Author), Victor Quipuscoa (Author)

This book is about historical ecology and environmental studies carried out in 2000-2001 by a team of archaeologists, anthropologists, botanists and geographers in north-eastern Peru. During the last five hundred years the montane forest landscapes in the Huambo valley and La meseta, the provinces of Rodriguez de Mendoza and Huallaga were modified by tribal groups, the Chachapoyas and the Inca cultures and later by the invasion of the Spaniards. Today population pressure from the highlands is the cause of the transformations of the biologically diverse cloud forest.
