Geographical coordinates: 12°12'30"S 76°59'20"W 5. Altitude: sea level (from 1 metre below sea level to 5 metres above sea level) 6. Area: 263 hectares 7. Overview: This is an emergent lacustrine community of saltwater wetlands; a saline coastal lagoon with reeds. The Pantanos de Villa form a nature area, reflecting characteristics inherent to the Peruvian coast, formed by the presence of underground water (runoff from nearby irrigated fields) in the desert of shallow lakes near the ocean. This area has been surrounded by the urban and industrial expansion of the city of Lima. Nonetheless, it is still host to important wildlife and vegetative communities. This reserve is the protected nature area closest to the city of Lima with a population of 7 million inhabitants. 8. Wetland type: 8 and 10 9. Ramsar criteria: 10. Map of site included? Please tick yes -or- no 11. Name and address of the compiler of this form: The Universidad Nacional Agraria La Molina, through the Conservation Data Centre (CDC-UNALM), was responsible for preparing the information in this document. 12. Justification of the criteria selected under point 9, on previous page: The criteria of the Ramsar Convention for designation of a Ramsar site are (Davis, 1994): 1. Criterion of a representative or unique wetland a) is a particularly representative example of a natural or almost natural wetland characteristic of a specific biogeographical region 1 This reserve is considered to be of high priority because it has wide biodiversity in comparison to other coastal wetlands in Peru.

My City is Getting Ready. UNISDR. Av. Del Parque 442. Lima 27- PERU. Abstract The Maule 2010, Chile, and the Tohoku-Oki 2011, Japan, earthquakes have reconfirmed that superficial geology is critical in the seismic intensity, and for predicting the occurrence of soil liquefaction, one of the most damaging seismic effects. From 1998 to 2012 multihazard maps, land-use plans for reducing risk, and disaster mitigation project profiles were developed for 175 Peruvian cities by Peru’s Civil Defense (INDECI) and UNDP. During the Ica, Peru, 2007, earthquake, the actual damage distribution in Pisco, Tambo de Mora and other cities, agreed very well with the multihazard map developed six years before, showing how useful those maps are. Kuroiwa and Delgado (2012). In 2013 the author proposal to Peruvian Engineers Association (CIP) and INDECI to complete the SCP, so that in 2021, the year of Peru’s Bicentennial of its Independence, most of the 175 cities may have their SCP implemented. ©© 20142014 TheThe Authors.

  • August 5, 2021 Garrigues Advises Metro De Lima on US$961 Million
    August 5, 2021 Garrigues advises Metro de Lima on US$961 million financing packages for Lima Metro Line 2 Project Garrigues advised Metro de Lima Linea 2 on a set of financings packages for the Lima Metro Line 2 Project, in an aggregate amount of US$961 million. These packages consisted in (i) a US$811 million off-balance sheet Export Credit Agency backed-financing, and (ii) an amended and restated US$150 million Revolving Construction Facility. Both financings are backed by Peruvian government payments under the Lima Metro Line 2 Project and closed days apart. Lima Metro Line 2 is one of the most ambitious infrastructure projects launched in Latin America under a PPP structure. Under the 35-year concession agreement, 35 km of subway lines will be built, with a total investment of approximatively US$ 5.5bn. Peru employs a unique financing mechanism to minimize construction risk for the Lima Metro Line 2 Project, called RPI-CAOs. These are government-backed milestone-linked receivables that represent the payment obligations of Peru’s Ministry of Transport and Communications. Each RPI-CAO makes available 60 quarterly payments for a period of 15 years to the Project, upon achievement of defined milestones, and will be used to repay lenders under both facilities. KEY HIGHLIGHTS: A. ECA-Backed Facility: The Facility is covered by an export credit guarantee provided by SACE, the Italian Export Credit Agency. The syndicated loan was provided by a set of European banks to a special purpose vehicle, which will purchase the RPI-CAOs from Metro de Lima using funds disbursed by lenders.

  • The Urban Rail Development Handbook
    DEVELOPMENT THE “ The Urban Rail Development Handbook offers both planners and political decision makers a comprehensive view of one of the largest, if not the largest, investment a city can undertake: an urban rail system. The handbook properly recognizes that urban rail is only one part of a hierarchically integrated transport system, and it provides practical guidance on how urban rail projects can be implemented and operated RAIL URBAN THE URBAN RAIL in a multimodal way that maximizes benefits far beyond mobility. The handbook is a must-read for any person involved in the planning and decision making for an urban rail line.” —Arturo Ardila-Gómez, Global Lead, Urban Mobility and Lead Transport Economist, World Bank DEVELOPMENT “ The Urban Rail Development Handbook tackles the social and technical challenges of planning, designing, financing, procuring, constructing, and operating rail projects in urban areas. It is a great complement HANDBOOK to more technical publications on rail technology, infrastructure, and project delivery. This handbook provides practical advice for delivering urban megaprojects, taking account of their social, institutional, and economic context.” —Martha Lawrence, Lead, Railway Community of Practice and Senior Railway Specialist, World Bank HANDBOOK “ Among the many options a city can consider to improve access to opportunities and mobility, urban rail stands out by its potential impact, as well as its high cost. Getting it right is a complex and multifaceted challenge that this handbook addresses beautifully through an in-depth and practical sharing of hard lessons learned in planning, implementing, and operating such urban rail lines, while ensuring their transformational role for urban development.” —Gerald Ollivier, Lead, Transit-Oriented Development Community of Practice, World Bank “ Public transport, as the backbone of mobility in cities, supports more inclusive communities, economic development, higher standards of living and health, and active lifestyles of inhabitants, while improving air quality and liveability.

  • Water Footprint Assessment of Bananas Produced by Small Banana Farmers in Peru and Ecuador
    Water footprint assessment of bananas produced by small banana farmers in Peru and Ecuador L. Clercx1, E. Zarate Torres2 and J.D. Kuiper3 1Technical Assistance for Sustainable Trade & Environment (TASTE Foundation), Koopliedenweg 10, 2991 LN Barendrecht, The Netherlands; 2Good Stuff International CH, Blankweg 16, 3072 Ostermundigen, Bern, Switzerland; 3Good Stuff International B.V., PO Box 1931, 5200 BX, s’-Hertogenbosch, The Netherlands. Abstract In 2013, Good Stuff International (GSI) carried out a Water Footprint Assessment for the banana importer Agrofair and its foundation TASTE (Technical Assistance for Sustainable Trade & Environment) of banana production by small farmers in Peru and Ecuador, using the methodology of the Water Footprint Network (WFN). The objective was to investigate if the Water Footprint Assessment (WFA) can help define strategies to increase the sustainability of the water consumption of banana production and processing of smallholder banana producers in Peru and Ecuador. The average water footprint was 576 m3 t-1 in Ecuador and 599 m3 t-1 for Peru. This corresponds respectively to 11.0 and 11.4 m3 per standard 18.14 kg banana box. In both samples, approximately 1% of the blue water footprint corresponds to the washing, processing and packaging stage. The blue water footprint was 34 and 94% of the total, respectively for Ecuador and Peru. This shows a strong dependency on irrigation in Peru. The sustainability of the water footprint is questionable in both countries but especially in Peru. Paradoxically, the predominant irrigation practices in Peru imply a waste of water in a context of severe water scarcity. The key water footprint reduction strategy proposed was better and more frequent dosing of irrigation water.

On March 8, the Jurado Nacional Electoral (JNE) excluded César Acuña, presidential candidate for the Alianza Para el Progreso (APP), and Julio Guzmán, candidate for the Todos por el Perú party (TPP). The decision to remove Acuña was unanimous, based on his violation of the Ley de Organizaciones Políticas, (the law regulating political organizations) when he gave 10,000 soles (US $3,003) to merchants in the city of Chosica, Lima province, and 5,000 soles (US$1,501) to a youth with disabilities during a campaign event in the northwestern department of Piura.

NUMBER 2 028 MAY 8, 196I Birds of the Western Slope of the Andes of Peru1 BY MARIA KOEPCKE2 INTRODUCTION During the ecological and zoogeographical studies that I undertook with my husband, H.-W. Koepcke, in the course of nine years on the western side ofthe Peruvian Andes, I observed that a considerable num- ber of birds have a more extensive distribution than had been known heretofore. It had not been perceived that several life zones ofnorthwest- ern Peru and western Ecuador, with their special biotopes, extend along the western slope of the Andes to middle Peru and beyond. The most interesting findings seem to be that the humid division of the temperate zone described by Chapman (1926) for Ecuador and northwestern Peru extends at least to middle Peru, split into a chain of "insular woods" (M. Koepcke, 1954, 1957, 1958; H.-W. Koepcke, 1958, and MS), and, moreover, the fact that we find in middle Peru, in the lower part of the western Andean slope, the southernmost patches of forest composed of trees which shed their leaves during the dry season. I have included a few observations on birds of the ocean shores and on migratory birds. I found further novelties in relation to distribution during a revision of Peruvian birds in the American Museum of Natural History in New 'Taxonomical and faunal bases for the ecological-zoogeographical studies of H.-W. and M. Koepcke, No. 27, with support from the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, Bad Godes- berg, Germany.
