, home to the Nazca Lines — massive geoglyphs etched into the desert thousands of years ago — and one of Peru’s most fragile desert ecosystems.Last week, the Ministry of Culture issued a resolution reducing the protected area around the Nazca Lines by 2,397 square kilometers (925 square miles).

“It’s incredible how the government is not even interested in the heritage of our ancestors that is unprotected, and will be destroyed without any control,” Peruvian environmental lawyer, Cesar Ipenza, told The Associated Press.Ipenza said once the miners enter, they will create huge environmental impacts, and will not assume responsibility.“And now that the government has released the area from its protection, mining petitions have already started to appear,” he said.
Culture Minister Fabricio Valencia said the reduction was based on “over 20 years of rigorous studies” and that the true archaeological reserve is about 3,200 square kilometers (1,235 square miles).
