“…It is considered that most of the fires are caused by the human being who makes bonfires, and burning garbage. For this reason, the head of the National Forest Service for Wildlife (SERFOR) announced that forestry brigades were formed together with the army in order to identify the culprits and be able to prosecute them for causing damage to nature [28]. This way, on December 4, 2022, at 6:30 p.m. in Sinaya hill, Coporaque district, Caylloma province, where no damage to the life and health of people was reported, the emergency being attended by the personnel of the District Municipality of Coporaque and residents of the community [27], [28].…”

The "Mapaton 2023," a collaborative initiative by the Peruvian Space Agency, Paraguayan Space Agency, and AMERIGEOS, introduces an innovative approach to analyze fire-prone areas in Arequipa, a pivotal endeavor for disaster prevention. Focused on the provinces of Arequipa and Caylloma, recent studies identified over 1,500 affected hectares by forest fires, emphasizing the urgency of employing satellite images and geospatial analysis techniques. Leveraging Landsat 8 satellite imagery, the research calculated indices, including the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) for vegetation analysis and the differenced normalized burn ratio (dNBR) for fire severity assessment. Results revealed varying impacts, with some areas exhibiting increased vegetation and others displaying significant damage. The use of ArcGIS online facilitated the presentation of geospatial data, emphasizing the utility of remote sensing in comprehending and addressing forest fires. Drawing insights from analogous studies in Mexico and the Amazon, this research underscores the importance of remote sensing and geospatial analysis in informing preventive measures against wildfires. The findings, crucial for environmental management, are recommended for sharing with relevant authorities, and the continued use of diverse satellite imagery sources is encouraged to enhance accuracy in monitoring and mitigating forest fires.

“…The following analysis results from our collaborative efforts to understand the deep history of playing with bulls in Peru. Alex Menaker has worked in Andagua for nearly a decade, conducting the first systematic archaeological investigation in the valley; he also collaborated with local stakeholders and descendant community members to document more recent social history pertaining to the era of gamonalismo (Menaker 2019a, 2019b). Situated in the rural highlands among the Colca and Cotahuasi Valleys, the Andagua Valley is a dynamic landscape composed of lava flows, volcanoes, and anthropogenic features (terraces and canals) shaped by long‐term human inhabitation that was subject to Inka and Spanish imperial reigns, prior to the contemporary Peruvian state 9 .…”

“…99The contemporary town of Andagua was constructed as a Spanish colonial reducción , which involved the forced resettlement of Indigenous people to nucleated settlements composed of an urban grid with a church at its center. In the mid‐18th century, a six‐hundred‐page court case recounts how residents of Andagua nearly incited a rebellion rejecting regional Spanish colonial authorities; it involved one of the last known cases of mummy worshipping in the Andes with ancestor cults as a locus of resistance (Menaker 2019a, 2019b). …”

Turupukllay is a popular form of bullfighting in Peru that unfolds over several days. Social analysis of turupukllay has largely focused on the symbolic dimension of its most sensational form, Yawar Fiesta, in which a condor is affixed to the back of the bull. But regarding these animals merely as symbols results in a limited sense of "play," particularly given how turupukllay encompasses the bull as a life-form. Based on fieldwork in Andagua, Peru, we argue that playing with the bull is more extensive: turupukllay can be seen as playing with tauromaquia broadly-the art, life, and regulation of Spanishstyle bullfighting. In Andagua, turupukllay plays with the bull through local breeding practices that physically transform it while also engaging in an ongoing burlesque of the formal features in tauromaquia. This version of turupukllay highlights an ongoing historical dynamic at play in the wide popularity of corrida de toros in Peru. [Turupukllay, Yawar Fiesta, Andes, José Arguedas, bovine idiom, castas] R e s u m e n El turupukllay es una forma popular de toreo en Perú que se desarrolla durante varios días. Su análisis social se ha centrado en gran medida en la dimensión simbólica de su forma más sensacional, la Yawar fiesta, en la que se coloca un cóndor en el lomo del toro. Pero considerar a estos animales solo desde lo simbólico limita el "juego", pues el turupukllay comprende al toro como ser viviente. Con base en el trabajo de campo en Andagua, Perú, argumentamos que jugar con el toro es más extenso: el turupukllay puede entenderse como jugar con la tauromaquia en general, el arte, la vida y la regulación de la tauromaquia española. En Andagua, el turupukllay juega con el toro a través de prácticas de cría locales que lo transforman físicamente mientras se involucra al mismo tiempo en una continua parodia de las características formales de la tauro-
