Políticas públicas forestales: planificación versus ejecución de los planes de reforestación, análisis del caso de la provincia de Loja en el sur de Ecuador

Abstract

Abstract:Global reforestation is important because it helps reduce or reverse the loss of biodiversity and mitigate climate change. To make it effective in the territory, it is necessary to generate state policies that encourage this activity in an emergent way for forest ecosystems. The objective of the research is to evaluate the planning and execution (effectiveness) of forest public policies applied to the reforestation plans in the province of Loja. Through the taxonomic evaluation, following the criteria of Tinbergen, the structure of the forest policy is analyzed and linked to the objectives of the reforestation plans. Information was obtained in the territory with semi-structured interviews directed towards technicians from the Provincial and Parish Autonomous Environmental Authorities and Decentralized Autonomous Governments (GAD). The policy analysis is macro forestry because the forestry public policy specific to the province of Loja, in the case of the Law of Forestation and Reforestation is repealed, most signed agreements to reforest have not been successful, although Loja has made reforestation for 46 years.
