Was determined the presence of the protective forest "La Perla" and two ecosystems in the town: the Bosque siempreverde de tierras bajas del Chocó Ecuatorial with a coverage of 595 hectares in the town and 42% of this coverage under protection also the Bosque siempreverde estacional de tierras bajas del Chocó Ecuatorial with a coverage of 55 hectares in the town and without percent of coverage under protection. The fragmentation of natural forests and little coverage of these leave no possibility of establishing large protected natural areas, only 650 hectares of natural forest, equivalent to 2% of coverage exist throughout the town.
