Pagaibamba Protection Forest

The 2078,38 hectares of Pagaibamba's surface area are the source of water for the Querocoto, Llama, and Huambo districts. The area was declared a protection forest in order to conserve the precious land and forest.
Purpose
- To guarantee a continued, steady supply of water for drinking and irrigation in the districts of Querocoto, Flame and Huambos.
- To protect the forest as a natural regulator of the water cycle and prevent sedimentation from diverting or blocking the rivers.
