Organization information
Asociacion Instituto Andino de Montana
Location: Miraflores, Peru
Summary
This project supports 7 high-mountain communities (Peruvian Andes) who are restoring indigenous water management technologies to cope with the loss of their key water source-glaciers. Their goal is to restore wetlands, using proven techniques to secure water for their livelihoods and wildlife. They document their results and share techniques with other mountain communities. As climate change advances, these indigenous communities are an example to the World. Join their efforts!
