Is of general knowledge that in the largest communities in the Bolivian altiplano, bodies of water (r, creeks and springs), are devoid of vegetation cover that serves as a natural filter to maintain natural conditions that ensure: acu ferro recharge capability, the quality of the water and avoid deterioration and contamination of the same n, so the project: establishment of systems of protection of water sources and pr practices of management and recordkeeping n of soils through the forestaci n in three communities in the municipality of battles as adaptation strategies n and n to change clim tico mitigaci-project CBA-BATTLES, contribute firstly to the rehabilitation n of a communal nursery which is located in the town of Huancn; to improve its production capacity of seedlings arb road and shrubs by 60 percent, to ensure supply and requirement of trees and shrubs for marketing n and end of the project itself, such as the forestaci n in captaci n areas located upstream (top or basin headwaters) water intake sites, as in the forested areas be n accompany adas infiltration ditches n and hedgerowsFinally this whole process of protection of water sources implemented in communities to ensure the availability of the resource h drico, be accompanied ada information workshops n and training n, mainly in the tourism portal management community for the nursery management and areas of protection of water sources. Thus the project ensure the reduction the vulnerability of resources h dricos n the impacts negative change clim tico (reduction n volume and the availability of water in areas of recharge by the retreat of glaciers), that second n activities enables information n in the n region are already very felt by residents. On the other hand the project aims to be a model of adaptation n clim tico to the n region change, which involves residents, municipal authorities, municipal, educational units in the area, University and PD/UNDP through the CBA Bolivia.
