The eastern slope of the Peruvian Andes ranges from altitudes of over 20,000 feet among rugged, glacier-clad peaks, to altitudes of under 500 feet in the hot, humid forests of the Amazon Basin, one of the most biologically diverse place on Earth. This region is also known for a diverse array of indigenous and modernized cultures, with an expanding population that threatens to alter the ecology and sheer beauty of this landscape forever. In this seminar, we will explore the fascinating diversity of organisms and ecosystems from the Andes to the Amazon of southeastern Peru, while studying the conservation challenges confronting this region. Through surveys of the biodiversity itself, and meetings with indigenous people, land-use managers, conservationists, and other stakeholders, we will analyze sustainable alternatives for the conservation of this world biodiversity hotspot.
