Protecting a Garua forest in Ecuador: the role of institutions and ecosystem valuation
Article Abstract:
The most difficult challenge facing humanity is preserving forest ecosystems and their biological diversity while providing adequate standard of living for people living in those areas. Researchers in this study used participatory research and environmental education to affect forest preservation in southwestern Ecuador. Upon understanding the value of fog culture by Loma Alta community, they used their own model of governance to preserve the forest.
