Abstract

This research work was developed on the Jambelí Island belonging to the Archipelago of the same name located in the Santa Rosa canton in the El Oro province in southern Ecuador, the main objective of the research is to determine the main anthropic activities through scientific research for the correct social development and conservation of biodiversity. The field visit to the study site established the main activities carried out by its community members to survive and generate sources of work in the place, thus determining that tourism, the collection of fauna species for sale are the most common activities among the inhabitants. Despite being a great natural space and of great importance for the environment, its conservation is in danger due to the shrimp farming activity in the place, which has triggered a number of problems for the community members, affecting their correct social development and causing unfortunate damages in the place. A sustainable social development through bioethics seeks to generate a change in people's awareness to respect life and take care of the environment, the purpose of this is to generate a positive impact, undoubtedly mainly benefiting the inhabitants since well-conserved resources create a bridge to a better future. The intention of this study is to establish the importance of social development and sustainable development promoted from bioethics for the conservation of the habitat of many species that are being lost and that are fundamental for the trophic chain and the economic sustenance of many families.
