Description:
The Lima Region in Peru, located on the Pacific coast and surrounded by the majestic Andes, impresses with its unique biocultural diversity. From the dry desert landscapes along the coast to the fertile valleys and riverbanks inland, this region offers a wide range of ecosystems and habitats. The flora is adapted to the extreme conditions of the coast and includes plant species such as succulents, cacti, and desert flowers, while inland, a variety of agricultural crops such as asparagus, mangoes, and avocados thrive. The wildlife is equally diverse, including marine animals like sea lions and Humboldt penguins along the coast, as well as various bird species and mammals inland. People in the Lima Region have a close relationship with nature and are committed to protecting and preserving biocultural diversity, whether through conservation projects or sustainable agricultural practices. Despite challenges posed by climate change and land use, safeguarding and conserving this diversity remains crucial for the future of the Lima Region and the well-being of its residents.
