Borde en conflicto, caso de estudio: Lomas de Amancaes

Abstract

Las lomas son ambientes naturales de condiciones ecológicas especiales, que surgen del encuentro de estribaciones costeras y la neblina invernal. Su vasta riqueza natural, con flora y fauna endémica, es exclusiva del Perú y parte de Chile. Sin embargo, este ecosistema se ha visto seriamente descuidado por el Estado, a pesar de contar con grandes beneficios para la población. Actualmente, las lomas de Amancaes atraviesan su mayor reto, el de subsistir frente a una fuerte presión urbana que no parece tener intenciones de detenerse; por ello, urge la presencia de una intervención que regule el conflicto en el borde natural-urbano.

Coastal hills are natural environments with special ecological conditions that arise from coastal foothills and winter fog. Their vast natural wealth, with endemic flora and fauna, is exclusive to Peru and part of Chile. However, the State has seriously neglected this ecosystem, despite having significant benefits for the popu-lation. Currently, the Amancaes coastal hills are going through their most significant challenge, that of surviving in the face of strong urban pressure that does not seem to have any inten-tion of stopping; therefore, the presence of an intervention that regulates the conflict on the natural-urban edge is urgent.
