Resumen

This publication highlights the main gaps in policy and legislation relating to the conservation of glaciers ecosystems in South American countries. Through an in-depth study of the legal status and applicable laws and policies in Argentina, Chile, Bolivia, Colombia, Peru, Ecuador and Venezuela, the book offers a series of specific recommendations for the design of a legal framework aimed at protecting these vulnerable ecosystems. The book is supplemented by an analysis of the legal situation of glaciers at the international level. The gaps analysis and prospective recommendations look at glaciers from different perspectives: protected areas, landscape conservation, river basins utilization, climate change, and environmental services. This unique publication aims at raising awareness on the part of the general public regarding the importance of these ecosystems for the survival of mountain ecosystems and their role as a provider of various environmental services, such as water. The reduction of glacier masses will have a significant impact on the landscape, the utilization and quality of water, the flora and fauna in the Andean Region, and the livelihood of local population. The deterioration of the glaciers ecosystem has been hastened by climate change, and as well as by the impact of infrastructure projects, such as the case of Pascua Lama (Chile).
