Despite the decrease in deforestation rates in the world, it is still an expanding problem in tropical areas such as the Amazon, losing millions of hectares of forests per year, due to weak governance of their territories and driven mainly by agriculture, livestock and a strong expansion of agro-industrial plantations such as oil palm in recent decades. Therefore, it is necessary to know the extent of the impacts generated in the alteration of local climates and how they affect the surrounding populations and ecosystems. Therefore, the objective of the research is to analyze the impact of deforestation and changes in vegetation cover on the variation of temperatures and precipitation in the town of Yurimaguas - Peru, between 1984 and 2023. For this purpose, meteorological data were used to determine changes in the local climate and global warming, processed in Microsoft Excel software, a...

Dry forests have a great environmental, social and economic value due to the ecosystem services they provide and the biodiversity they contain, and are being affected by the strong atmospheric fluctuations generated by the increasing climate variability of the last decades, endangering species of flora and fauna as representative as the white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus peruvianus) in the tropical premontane zones of the western slope of the Andes, Therefore, we sought to analyze the relationship between the vigor of the vegetation cover and the historical fluctuations of the population density of white-tailed deer, with climatic variations and the incidence of El Niño Costero in the Coto de Caza El Angolo and its buffer zone in the period 1984-2023. For this purpose, statistical data of white-tailed deer in the study area and vegetation vigorousness levels determined with the n...

Tropical forests suffer the loss of millions of hectares every year due to land use and land cover change for agricultural production, resource exploitation and settlement development, contributing to global warming and altering the environmental conditions of the territory, as in the city of Iquitos in the Peruvian Amazon, where it is necessary to know how these impacts affect its population, activities and ecosystems. The objective of the study was to analyse the effects of urban expansion and global warming on the climate of the city of Iquitos, as well as its variation in relation to the climate of the towns of Pebas and Trompeteros, in the Peruvian Amazonian peneplain in the period 1984-2022, for which meteorological data from the study area was processed, maps of ecosystems and satellite images were processed to determine levels of vegetation vigour by calculating the normalised di...
