The historic sanctuary of the bosque de Pómac – SHBP is, considering wilderness areasprotected by the state of Peru, unique of its kind, because of its archeological and

wildlife value. The 5,887.38 hectares, which is defining the sanctuary, is harboring a

great biological diversity. More than 2000 hectares of the sanctuary have been

plundered by invaders, i.e. land dealers and loggers, with the aim of producing charcoal

and firewood, based on the carob tree, for commercial purpose in the local and national

market. 

Since the year of 2010, the organization Centro Eco, financed by the FONDAM, has

reforested 300 hectares with the carob tree species (Prosopis pallida) in the Paleria

sector (with seeds from the SHBP itself). 

The reforestation project has been made possible thanks to the families who are settledin the buffer zone of the SHBP, volunteers from the peace corps – USA, groups of young

volunteers from the universities: USAT (Universidad Santo Toribio de Mogrovejo), USS

(Universidad Señor de Sipan), and UNPRG (Universidad Nacional Pedro Ruiz Gallo);

Communities of the Christian Life (Jesuits) – CVX, and other actors 

Currently in the 300 hectares reforested area, young trees, which in average have

reached a height of between 2, 5 to 3 meters, base diameter between 3 to 4 cm and

crown diameter of between

1, 5 to 2 meters, can be appreciated. (INIA – E.E A. Vista

We invite you to be a part this great work, the reforestation, and giving life back to the

forest.

In the course of the execution of the project “Model of Development andSustainable managemen t of the Natural Rescores in the SHBP” 300 hectares, indegraded areas, were reforeste d with seeds of the carob tree (Prosopis pallida) .

The labor work of the SHBP will continue, with the support of the Lambayequeregional government and other local governments, who are committed tocontinue and support this initiative.

The preservation, conservation and management of our dry forest is essential toprovide a habitat for the diversity of species shel tering in the dry forest, as well asimproving the quality of life and income for the settled families by offering

sustainable ecotourism services.

The Reforestation

Benefits of the reforestation

üPreservation of the ecosystem in the Historic Sanctuary of thePómac Forest (wild flora and fauna)üSustainable use for productive activities such as beekeeping,

production of carob liquid, raising sheep and small animals for the fodder it offersü

Increasing air quality due to major oxygen and carbon dioxidecirculationüReducing harmful effects of the climate changeüSoil protecting against erosionüIncreasing soil fertility and qualityüImproving the water quality, increasing the subterranean water

THE REFORESTATION PROCESS

A. GATHERING AND SELECTION OF SEEDSThe seeds of the carob tree (Prosopis pallida) were recollectedfrom the existing pens of the SHBP.

B.LOCATION OF PLANTING AREAS AND PLACEMENTPOINTSBased on the material of the area (with pennants).

C. PICKET SOWINGOr planting in the selected field.

D. IDENTIFICATIONS WITH RODS AND LABELSWhich indicates the exact location of the plants growing.

E. OPEN HOLESTheir purpose is it to make sure that the plant retain and absorb themost amount of water coming from rain or irrigation technology;every plantation hole should measure approximately 30 x 30 cm.

F. IRRIGATION

Irrigation with communal participation and/or with irrigationtechnology systems.

G. PRESERVATION AND MAINTENANCEMaintenance and surveillance of reforested areas made byorganized families of the buffer zone of the SHBP.

H. EVALUATION AND MONITORINGIs being executed by measurement and recording of hectares of planting, growth and quality of plants.

¿How to reforest? 

Picket Sowing:

This method implies placing the carob seeds directly in the field,where small holes at a depth of 3-5 cm previously have beenmade. Then depositing 3 - 5 seeds per "hit", previously selectedand moistened; pressing the small holes gently with thefingertips. Planting is done at a distance of approximately 5 x 5m. between plants.

This method of planting preserves and restores vegetationcoverage in more economic means than the traditional plantationmethods.

The reforestation is an activity designated tothe restoration of the species that havedisappeared as a result of different reasons.The destruction of the historic sanctuary of thePómac forest and dry forests of the northcoast has lead to deforestation due tothe operation of fuel wood(firewood and charcoal),expansion of the agriculturalfrontier and invasion of rural areas by landdealers.
