National Council of South American Camelids

Dependent on the Ministry of Agriculture of Peru, the National Council of South American Camelids had its headquarters in Lima. Their activities were related to the four species of camelids: alpacas, llamas, vicuñas, and guanacos. It was deactivated in 2007 and its functions transferred to regional governments. Initiatives have been proposed to create a new body with a similar role.
