Description
Summary:In the present investigation, the environmental assessment of the evergreen piemontane forest of the Western Andes Cordillera, located between the Pangua and La Maná Cantons, in the Cotopaxi province, Moraspungo parish, Narcisa de Jesús enclosure, on the bioclimatic floor was carried out. ranging from 300 to 1400 meters above sea level. For this, the current diagnosis of the forest was established, the form was used to determine its current use and an alternative form for economic and environmental conservation was made. The methodology used for the development of this research was based on the application of inductive-deductive and descriptive methods, which allowed to establish quali-quantitative values on the current reality of the forest, based on the application of the non-probabilistic method that will download the information from the main actors that maintain properties within the area of incidence. The main results are based on the different activities of anthropogenic origin that are developed in the place, among them; activities of exploitation of natural, vegetable and animal resources, establishing 84% of its total area that are being used for the agricultural sector, in this process of advance, the natural conditions of vegetation in the area change because some natural elements are replaced by others new crops such as: Melina forestry (Gmelina arborea), cassava plantations, cocoa production and banana production, in addition to an accelerated growth from the introduction of various animals, including cattle, pigs and poultry that are established in around the forest. It can be concluded that the damages present in the forest are originated by the different activities of anthropogenic origin that the people of the place carry out day by day, the lack of control by government agencies means that the destruction of these areas has been greater in recent times., which has affected the different ecosystem services provided by these areas.
