Cloud Forest in Peruvian Amazon
CDS is made up of 15.5 hectares of cloud forest, two streams, riparian forests, a reforested area, and areas for cultivation of local fruits.
It is situated in the buffer zone of the Yanachaga Chemillen National Park in Oxapampa Province, it protects a great quantity of species included in the Oxapampa Ashaninka Yanesha Biosphere Reserve.
Forests & Water
Cloud forests are defined as ever green, dense and tall forest. Their climate is wet to very wet and they are characterized by a high diversity of epiphytes and endemic species. Today, they are considered one of the most fragile ecosystems on a global scale, especially due to the level of degradation that they suffer as a result of excessive use of their resources and to their wide-scale conversion to agricultural and grazing land.
Projects
The current services and facilities offered by CDS as well as those that are in the process of being implemented coupled with the environmental and ecological conditions in this area aim to satisfy the research, outreach education and leisure needs required by our target groups.
