Abstract

Abstract: The present research work was carried out in the buffer zones of the Yanacocha Reserve, in the San Miguel de Noon parish, Quito canton, Pichincha province, to know what local people think about conservation and production in the territorial limits of the reserve; in addition to detecting any conflict that could have arisen as a result of the development of productive activities near areas like these. Nine settlements were carried out through a descriptive study since data was collected that contributed to predicting and identifying the relationship between two or more variables. A survey was applied to 20 families engaged in agricultural and livestock activities, the results indicate that there is an expansion of the agricultural frontier in the area, which has caused different types of impacts on their ecosystems. From the analysis of these situations, data can be obtained that allow the development of strategies to enhance the conservation of biodiversity and environmental services in the buffer zones of this protected area.
