Bosques Nublados de Udima Wildlife Refuge

Bosques Nublados de Udima Wildlife Refuge is a protected area of roughly 12,183 hectares in northern Peru, spanning the Cajamarca and Lambayeque regions along the western slopes of the Andes. It was established in 2011 by Peru's national service of protected natural areas, SERNANP, and is classified as an IUCN Category IV habitat and species management area. The refuge safeguards a striking band of Andean cloud forest, an unusual ecosystem found at elevations between roughly 2,000 and 3,000 metres, sandwiched between the dry Pacific coastal deserts to the west and the vast Amazon rainforests to the east. Because the Andes are relatively low in this part of Peru, Amazonian plant and animal species appear here on the western slopes in ecosystems that are otherwise atypical for this side of the continent. Beyond its ecological value, the refuge protects the headwaters of the Zaña River, which supplies irrigation water to one of the region's most productive agricultural valleys, and it preserves pre-Columbian archaeological ruins, including the Poro Poro site and canals considered among the oldest known irrigation works in the Americas.
