Description:
Since 1999, the indigenous and campesino communities that comprise the Asociación de Trabajadores Autónomos San Rafael - Tres Cruces - Yurac Rumi (ASARATY) have taken on the responsible management of 8,000-hectares of páramos, the montane grassland ecosystem of the Andes. To counter the degradation of habitat adjacent to Sangay National Park - a UNESCO World Heritage site - ASARATY has developed a unique participatory planning process to sustainably raise Alpacas, market products from Alpaca wool, increase food security, and develop an income-generating ecotourism venture.
