Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: The management of “Cerro de Montecristi” (Manabí, Ecuador) faces challenges in both the environmental and administrative spheres, despite the biocentric safeguards established by the 2008 Constitution. This study focuses on exploring the gap between local policies and the principles set forth in the Constitution, particularly regarding the management of environmental permits and community engagement. For this purpose, field and documentary research methodologies have been utilized to analyze how local administrative practices challenge the biocentric nature of the constitutional legislation. Additionally, measures are proposed to improve environmental management, aimed at being more effective and better aligned with respect for the environment.
