ONE PROBABILITY OF SURVIVAL IN THE FACE OF CLIMATE CHANGE FOR SALINAS-ECUADOR: CASE OF MANGROVES OF THE GALAPAGOS ISLANDS
Abstract
This reflective article frames the Salinas tourist spot, a beach in the province of Santa Elena located in Ecuador. The same one that represents a point of high tourist development, evidenced in the number of inhabitants and tourists and economic indicators, which if lost in the coming years due to the floods predicted by global warming, would represent a great economic and human loss. The objective is to find the approximate economic value that it would represent to have mangroves planted with existing species in the Galapagos Islands and thus hope that this place can remain over time. The methodology is based on bibliographic information, with a positivist approach. The identification of the variables was obtained through conclusive descriptive research, using quantitative and qualitative research tools. The results indicate that considering a study of a valuation of Salinas, by the travel cost method, for $211 million among other economic indicators, efforts must be joined to save it. The collection of data from approximately 30 bibliographical references serve for the assessment of the mangrove by those in charge of conserving the site, both public and private
