Resumen
En este estudio de investigación se planteó desarrollar un plan estratégico para la Reserva Ecológica Manglares Churute, especialmente en el área de transición que colinda con el Cerro El Mate. Para ello, se emplearon diversas metodologías que involucraron a los actores clave. Se llevó a cabo un relevamiento de información mediante una línea base ambiental, encuestas, entrevistas y la elaboración de mapas de servicios y oportunidades. Estos métodos fueron cruciales para identificar los impactos ambientales generados por las actividades humanas en el área, así como para comprender la percepción de la comunidad sobre la reserva y las actividades que se desarrollan en sus alrededores. Con el fin de verificar los impactos ambientales identificados, se aplicó una lista de verificación y un diagrama de redes, lo que permitió un análisis detallado de estos efectos. Se determinó que la agricultura, la ganadería, el turismo, la construcción de caminos y actividades no autorizadas como la caza, la pesca y la tala selectiva de árboles contribuyen significativamente al deterioro de los ecosistemas presentes de la reserva. Por tanto, se propone un plan estratégico para mitigar y controlar estos impactos ambientales, mediante un enfoque colaborativo entre la comunidad local y la administración de la reserva, con el fin de mantener la integridad ambiental del área, sin descuidar otras actividades productivas relevantes.
This research study proposed to design a strategic plan for the Manglares Churute Ecological Reserve, especially in the transition area bordering Cerro El Mate. For this, we employed various methodologies that involved key stakeholders. Information was collected through an environmental database, surveys, interviews and the elaboration of service and opportunity maps. These methods were crucial to identify the environmental impacts generated by human activities in the area, as well as to understand the community's perception of the reserve and surrounding activities. In order, to verify the identified environmental impacts, a checklist and a network diagram were applied, which allowed for a detailed analysis of these effects. It was determined that agriculture, tourism, livestock, road construction, and unauthorized activities such as hunting, fishing, and deforestation all contribute significantly to the deterioration of the reserve's ecosystems. Therefore, a strategic plan is proposed to mitigate and control these environmental impacts through a collaborative approach between the local community and the reserve's administration in order to maintain the environmental integrity of the area, without neglecting other relevant productive activities.
