Reintroducción de camélidos sudamericanos como una alternativa para la sustentabilidad del ecosistema de páramo e implementación de una economía social y solidaria en la Comunidad de Pesillo

Abstract

This study was conducted in order to investigate the economic, social and environmental feasibility of reintroducing camelids on the moor Pesillo community. For this purpose, it is required to perform a literature search and gathering information by applying a survey. Whereas there are 500 families in the community, a single sampling, which involved taking a sample of the total population, without prioritizing or segment the population study. Once the information field, we proceeded to develop the feasibility analysis where it was found that the most suitable species for reintroduction it is the Vicugna pacos (alpaca), such it is the case within Ecuador has been driving Alpacas reintroduction projects in 36 Andean communities for over 20 years. The outcome of the economic analysis is reflected by calculating the NPV and IRR, demonstrating that the project is sustainable, social part it was found that 85% of the population agrees on the project implementation and the use of the byproducts of this animal results in the creation of a social and solidarity economy and respect the environment showed that the alpaca is a species of moorland and is structurally adapted to their conditions because it has pad it in plants its legs allowing care for and preserve the flora and soil wasteland.
