Introduction

Protected natural area now represent one the instruments more effective

conservation in situ or natural. ( species, ecosystems and environmental

services) in this sense and in compliance whit commitments through

conservation on Biological biodiversity (1992) the countries of latin Americaand the Caribbean, efforts have been made administrative reorganization

animed at under the concept of national systems and establishment of new

protected areas in their, whit these actions has been provided whit legal

protection and operational threat by population growth expanding the

agricultural frontier and over exploitation of them.

But social problems in the regaion do not allow that such strategies

completely reverse the processer of environmental destruction of the

elements that make up and environmental services they provide to our

societies, the means at their disposal govermments to manage protected

areas are insufficient so many only exist in the instrument the same buildind

whitout it is provisions come applied in reality. Most countries agree to say

that the ANP spaces have been fundamental conservation of natural

ecosystems and biodiversity of latin America, However no significant

problems are extensive that constantly threaten ecosystem stability.

In our country establishing the Ministry of Environment whit the function of

designing establishing implementing and monitoring national policy and

national strategies management of natural resources and biodiversity that is

why the creation of protected areas Peru is a megadiverse country at the

ecosystem species genetic and cultural diversity and Lambayeque city havea natural protected Areas wildlife Laquipampa which house great variability

of species birds, mammals, insects, amphibians, reptiles, medicinal plant,

ornamental and ruins etc.

Problems from Laquipampa:

Algarrobito area at the end of the 60 years farms were located area, Cropland were

- Livestock and agriculture in the boundaries of the refuge tin the buffer zone,

are locate on the banks of the river of rice farmers this has affected the decline

of forest previously were located in this area sice the settlers hunted in this area

causing declining species and species have been scared off higher areas the

use of insecticides in rice farming makes the rives and land everyday are more

contaminated the river banks have been shortened causing flooding area in the

rainy moths when the river flow increases

Livestock: Livestock grazing animals was observed area protected area this brings to

the erosion problem of soils in addition to loss of wealth flora of the area as a protected

area there animals should not be in this area.

Other conflicts in the area are the areas formalized this problem arises because before

you know this area as a protected area and people were located in this area irrigation

water used for cultivation. This affects the decrease in water affecting the residents of

the area below.
