Paper Introduction:
Environmental History of Lima Peru Introduction Lima Peru is located on the Pacific coast of South America Fig Peru is rich in its variety of ecological areas containing of theworld\'s known living ecological regions and different climates Escobal Torrero p The environmental history of Lima Peruis important because it is part of the complex of issues that relate toPeru\'s economic health and stability Its geographic diversity is linkedto Peru\'s development and the history of its environmental issues tells astory of how adverse
