IPBES Conceptual Framework Applied to Research on Nature's Contributions to Andean Pastoral Peoples
English (396)
Through a comprehensive analysis of field data and literature about the Andean region, identifying the current status of research and knowledge gaps, researchers have used the IPBES conceptual framework to pinpoint Nature's Contributions to the peoples of Puna in the Central Andes.
The research analyzed local trends in the capacity of nature to keep providing contributions to good quality of life from 1990 to the present. Indicators proposed by IPBES (2019) served as a reference and were adapted to the local scenario.
The research was able to identify contributions such as (1) Habitat creation and maintenance, as well as regulation of freshwater, (2) Pollination and seed dispersal, (3) Regulation of climate and air quality, (4) Formation and protection of soils and sediments, (5) Formation and protection of soils and sediments, (6) Regulation of hazards and extreme events, (7) Regulation of biological processes, pests, and diseases, and (8) Food and feed, among others.
