Restoring Cocha Amalia wetland in the Manu Biosphere Reserve by removing invasive species, replanting natives, and restoring hydrology to enhance biodiversity and ensure long-term ecosystem sustainability.

The project "Restoration of the Wetland Cocha Amalia in the Manu Biosphere Reserve" is being held within the Manu Learning Centre a 643-hectare private nature reserve in the Manu Biosphere Reserve, in southeastern Peru. Here, we find the Wetland Cocha Amalia, which had been degraded through years before our arrival due to human and natural factors.

The main impacts came from deforestation, water pollution, and the spread of invasive weeds resulting in the loss of critical habitats, decreased biodiversity, and water quality degradation. This is evident in the loss of aquatic habitats and the decrease in biodiversity, threatening the survival of numerous plant and animal species.

To counteract these problems, Crees is restoring and conserving this wetland based on multidisciplinary scientific approaches. Seeking to rehabilitate the wetland by removing invasive species, revegetating with native plants, and restoring natural hydrology. This effort aims to restore biodiversity and ensure the long-term sustainability of this valuable Amazonian ecosystem alongside local communities.

The anticipated benefits of this ecosystem restoration include the resurgence of biodiversity, encompassing birds, mammals, fish, amphibians, reptiles, and insects. Additionally, it is crucial to integrate conservation and sustainable development considerations into the restoration process, highlighting their significance and value.
