Transición paisajista por impactos ocasionados en la explotación extractiva de la concesión minera Sacachispas, parroquia Loma de Franco, cantón Pasaje

Abstract

The perceptual means of a given area is a fundamental resource for the development of society, since it is constituted by various factors that support the execution of different biological and anthropic activities, generating goods and services of great importance. The parish Loma de Franco of the Pasaje canton has an important forest cover associated with a good quality of the soil, water and air resources, forming a natural habitat conducive to the development of the inhabitants and native species of the place. However, the various productive economic activities carried out within this parish pose a latent risk for the conservation of these resources in the areas used for agricultural production and especially mining activities such as the Sacachispas concession, the object of the study of this research.
