== Elevation discrepancy: 2,430 m vs 2,400 m ==

There is a minor but unexplained discrepancy in the elevation given for Machu Picchu. The infobox, the opening paragraph, and the "Location" section all give the elevation as 2,430 m. However, the "Flora and fauna" section refers to "the 2,400 m elevation of Machu Picchu" in the context of explaining why certain animals were brought to the site. The 30-metre difference (~1.2%) is not explained, and 2,400 m appears to be a rounded or erroneous figure. Could an editor correct the "Flora and fauna" section to use the consistent value of 2,430 m?
