Envipe I - Background  -  Fieldwork

The Forgotten Valleys (by Inge Schjellerup, Mikael Kamp Sørensen, Carolina Espinoza, Victor Quipuscoa & Victor Peña)

The book is about historical ecology and environmental studies carried out in 2000-2001 by a team of archaeologists, anthropologsts, botanists and geographers in north-eastern Peru. During the last five hundred years the montane forest landscapes in the Huambo Valley and La Meseta were modified by tribal groups, the Chachapoya and Inca cultures and later by the invasions of the Spaniards. Today population pressure from the highlands is the cause of transformations of the biologically diverse cloud forest.
