Análisis comparativo de la evaluación de efectividad de manejo como herramienta de gestión del Parque Nacional Machalilla

Abstract

Protected areas can be defined as regulated territorial extensions, due to their natural wealth. This conception would end up consolidating at the end of the 20th century, in which normative bodies focused on the creation and management by the independent national states in their territory were established. In Ecuador, even though its territorial extension is limited in relation to other states, it has about 20% of the protected area, which are administered by different institutions according to the subsystem established by the SNAP, and evaluated by the National Environmental Authority. , whose purpose is to know the state of the resources within the area, a specific case occurs in the Machalilla National Park, located in the province of Manabí, in the Puerto López canton. According to what is established in the sixth transitory provision of the COA, two evaluations of the effectiveness of management by the MAE within the National Park were carried out in the 2007 period. Taking into consideration the PMA Machalilla and the EEM carried out by the MAE, a comparison was made , to determine the level of compliance within the protected area and the problems presented. Said comparison would result in a satisfactory level of compliance during the second evaluation, finding non-conformities or non-compliances with some of the proposed measures within the PMA and during the first evaluation. Through the analysis of the problems found, complementary measures were established to improve the effectiveness of management within the Machalilla National Park.
