HERRERA L., Patricia et al. A monitoring system for the Lomas de Arena Protected Area. Tinkazos [online]. 2014, vol.17, n.36, pp.107-118. ISSN 1990-7451.

The Lomas de Arena Protected Area is a few kilometres outside the city of Santa Cruz de la Sierra and is very important in terms of water resources and ecotourism. A team of researchers has studied changes in the vegetation cover, water dynamics and the extent of movement of the sand dunes found in the area, for the purpose of designing what is now the first computerized monitoring system for the management of protected areas.

Palavras-chave : Lomas de Arena Protected Area; protected areas; sand dunes; nature reserves; environmental impact; integrated management of protected areas; geospatial information technologies.
