Resumen

The Mangomarca fog oasis in Lima is an important regulation and service system that is subject not only to the impacts of climate change, but also to land trafficking, illegal invasions, and pollution; which has generated serious environmental deterioration and loss of biodiversity. Due to this situation, the Cesar Vallejo University, within the framework of university social responsibility in accordance with its interest groups and service-learning, participates with the community and the Ecotourism Association of the area. The purpose is to preserve the Mangomarca ecosystem by seeking collaborative solutions and alliances that promote a better quality of life. An analysis of the system that today exerts actions and pressures on the Mangomarca fog oasis is made. Challenges due to the negative impacts caused by the covid-19 pandemic are identified and collaborative strategies for resilience to climate change are developed, in the context of sustainable development.
