Abstract
Since the recent creation of the Glaciers of Santiago National Park, a debate has been generated about the role and rights of the arrieros (local mountain herders) to use the mountains. At the request of the local community, supported by a diagnosis of grazed areas, a regenerative livestock plan adapted to traditional transhumance led by Conservación Andina has begun in 2023. This initiative aligns the conservation of Andean biodiversity with its cultural heritage, aiming at a socioecological regenerative strategy through mountain livestock farming and a management model potentially replicable in other areas with similar problems.
