The case study: Socio-ecological reflections The project report of Pukllasunchis is divided into three main parts: The first part outlines the socio-economic context of present ecological inadequacies and shows traditional methods of sustainable land use. It proposes practical solutions for local problems and suggests a process for working towards a sustainable use of primary resources. The second part contains extensive investigation of the local flora and fauna presented as a photo register of approximately 300 local species. It shows the ecological and social importance of the different plants and animals both today and in the past and explains the religious and socio-political significance of some of these species in the times of the Incas and in the societies of the region today. The third part is a separate document which contains an evaluation of the present economic, social and ecological situation of the local population based on an in-depth enquiry conducted by Pukllasunchis in May 1998 in the Valley of the River Kachimayu (Erzinger; 2000). The entire case study serves as a practical guideline and may promote the effective protection of the different ecosystems and resources of the region. |
