Accion Andina project

Atancama Rural Community, Lambrama District, Apurímac Region, Peru.

In the Abancay landscape, we are producing 25,000 Queuña seedlings to restore the Queuña forests in the Atancama Rural Community. This work not only recovers high Andean ecosystems, but also generates an immediate local benefit: access to drinking water through the installation of an 18 km water supply system.
