Ecosystems provide people with the satisfaction of their essential, vital needs, such as food, oxygen and water, promoting protection against natural phenomena. The consequences on biodiversity are constant over times, and have no intentions of diminishing what will lead to the benefits of the next generations are significantly scarce. Therefore, we must aim to restore levels of degradation of ecosystems based on an evaluation of the practices that are necessary to preserve natural resources. The present investigation focuses on the studies and administrative management activities that have been developed in the Puntilla de Santa Elena Faunal Production Reserve, with regard to its production activities (fishing, tourism and aquaculture) as well as sales activities on the part of the merchants and artisans, highlighting the impact that these practices have had on the ecosystems of the province of Santa Elena. Therefore, the different production activities that have been carried out in the protection area are analyzed, and how they have been managed. In conclusion, citizen participation is one of the greatest long-term challenges, in order to establish a habit on the part of society, with regard to the appropriation of natural environments as part of its ecosystem.
