The village of La Morada on the northeastern slopes of the Andes, Peru, is a typical example of a recent settlement founded in the Ceja de Selva Alta by families of indigenous and mestizo descent, who originally came from the highlands. They have accumulated experiences of the impact of their resource-management practices, but with heavy emphasis on their highland background. Tremendous changes in the environment have been catalyzed by road construction, introduction of new settlements, crops, and most of all by the introduction of large numbers of cattle.
