Lomas de Lima: Protecting a unique ecosystem
María Miyasiro is a UN Volunteer serving in Peru with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) as a specialist in geographic information systems and remote sensing within the EbA (Ecosystem-based Adaptation) Lomas project. In celebration of International Day for Biological Diversity, María shares her experience of protecting a unique ecosystem on a digital and volunteer basis.
"I started to get involved in the study and conservation of the Lomas because of my thesis. However, if I have been at it for four years, it is due to the people and organizations with whom I collaborate. United, we are achieving goals that, until recently, seemed too far away," María states soon after our interview begins.
