Cordillera Escalera Regional Conservation Area

San Martin Department, Peru

The Regional Conservation Area Cordillera Escalera (Área de Conservación Regional Cordillera Escalera, RCA-CE) is a protected area in the San Martín Region of northeastern Peru, situated on the eastern edge of the Andes. Established in 2005, it encompasses 1,498.7 square kilometres (370, 300 acres) of mountainous cloud and montane forest at the interface between the Andean highlands and lowland Amazonia. The conservation area overlaps with the traditional territories of the Kichwa-Lamista people of San Martín, who have been engaged in an ongoing conflict with the regional government over access and governance rights since the area's establishment.
