ABSTRACT
The relict high-Andean forest covered by associations of Polylepis Rugulosa found in the arid
Andean region of southwestern Peru is a provider of a series of environmental goods and services such
as water supply, climate regulation, erosion control, among others, that contribute to the wellbeing
of societies. This investigation allows us to know the allocation of a range of economic value of the
ecosystem services developed in the study area, based on different perspectives of analysis through the
application of the multicriteria model Analytic Network Process (ANP) and the economic estimation of
CO2eq sequestration. The results obtained range from USD 32,641,387 to USD 102,098,052.
