Add Tag | Summary: | Ecuador is one of the most biodiverse countries in the world. Moreover, and based on the inclusion of the paradigm of Buen Vivir in the 2008 Constitution, this South American nation was the first country in the world to provide constitutional protection to its natural environment by considering Nature as a subject of rights. In that sense, it is interesting to question what has been the impact of the environmental governance under the Buen Vivir paradigm on the evolution of deforestation in the Provinces of Tungurahua and Pastaza in the period 2008-2017. Based on statistical data collected in the field research and during the interviews with key actors dealing with environmental matters on the ground, it is possible to assert the importance of local environmental governance in forest protection, as well as to reflect on the existence of a struggle of models associated with the praxis of the relationship between Buen Vivir with Nature: forest conservation vs extractivism. |
