Scientists at the University of Texas at Austin did research on this topic in partnership with institutions in Peru.It is not only the melting creating dangerous soils but also land rushes for mining and drainage of acid rock that foster a disrespect for local land rights. Bring on the llamas. Yes, llamas. Llamas brought onto this land, when managed by local herders, were helping to stabilize the soils and the ecosystem formation. There is also faster plant succession, something that occurs over time.The researchers at UT worked with a group called Llama 2000 Asociación.
