Abstract
La creciente preocupación por la pérdida de ecosistemas se aborda la importancia ecológica y cultural del ecosistema altoandino de Sachapata, en Nuñoa, Puno, Perú, dominado por bosques de Polylepis incarum. El objetivo fue evaluar la diversidad florística y ecológica como base para su conservación. Se aplicó una metodología evaluativa, descriptiva y analítica, instalando parcelas sistemáticas para el registro cuantitativo de flora y fauna, lo que permitió validar científicamente los resultados. Se identificaron 182 especies de plantas, 81 de aves, 9 de mamíferos, 2 de anfibios y 3 de reptiles, destacando altos índices de diversidad (Shannon-Wiener: 3.892 para flora y 4.595 para fauna). Además, se sistematizó el conocimiento tradicional de las comunidades locales, subrayando el valor cultural del bosque. Se concluye que Sachapata constituye un refugio biológico y cultural de relevancia regional, recomendándose su reconocimiento como Área de Conservación Regional para garantizar su protección y uso sostenible.
Growing concern about ecosystem loss addresses the ecological and cultural importance of the high Andean ecosystem of Sachapata, in Nuñoa, Puno, Peru, dominated by Polylepis incarum forests. The objective was to assess floristic and ecological diversity as a basis for its conservation. An evaluative, descriptive, and analytical methodology was applied, establishing systematic plots for quantitative recording of flora and fauna, which allowed for scientific validation of the results. 182 plant species, 81 bird species, 9 mammal species, 2 amphibian species, and 3 reptile species were identified, highlighting high diversity indices (Shannon-Wiener: 3,892 for flora and 4,595 for fauna). In addition, the traditional knowledge of local communities was systematized, highlighting the cultural value of the forest. It is concluded that Sachapata constitutes a biological and cultural refuge of regional significance, and its recognition as a Regional Conservation Area is recommended to ensure its protection and sustainable use.
