Valoración del impacto ambiental producido por la ganadería y agricultura en la zona donde se ubica la Estación Biológica Kutukú de la Universidad Politécnica Salesiana

Abstract

The Salesian Mission Sevilla Don Bosco has two agricultural projects in the Sevilla Don Bosco parish, in the province of Morona Santiago. Therefore an assessment of the environmental and social impact was carried out emphasizing the production of dairy cattle, due to the magnitude and its importance in the study area. In these agricultural projects, we begin to establish a survey of the socio-environmental baseline, the location of the processes, the environmental risks of the projects and the areas of influence and sensitivity. We end with the environmental impact assessment by the MEL-ENEL method, which is used for projects that are in development or under implementation The conclusion for the study of the productive projects determines that the priority generic impacts with a percentage of relative significance coefficient CSR greater than 40% fall on the water component, the Amazon forest, and the soil. On the other hand, the social component has a positive impact on the environment.
