For WCS, a landscape is a set of geographic units within a broader territory that encompasses diverse ecological, social, and cultural conditions, where different uses of land and natural resources converge. Managing it requires recognizing this diversity and building solutions with all stakeholders to preserve its biological richness and promote sustainable development. 

 Conserving large wild landscapes requires an understanding of the complex relationships between biodiversity and the ways of life that coexist in the same territory. In these spaces, land and resources are used in multiple ways, forming a mosaic of territorial units where people and nature are deeply interconnected.

In Peru, we work in two landscapes within the Amazon Basin: Marañón–Ucayali, in the Loreto region, and Madidi–Tambopata, which spans the regions of Puno and Madre de Dios. Both territories reflect the country’s extraordinary biological and cultural diversity
