Country / Territory Brief Ecuador has experienced inclusive growth, increasing the middle class and reducing poverty and extreme poverty levels in recent years. Moreover, it is the country that has reduced inequality more rapidly in the region. Despite many successes, Ecuador’s growth relies heavily on exports of commodities and on public investment. Reduce high economic dependency on the oil sector is an important challenge. The Government objectives include strengthening domestic markets and to promote an “intelligent integration” into the global economy; promote exports focusing on diversification of products, services and markets; support local producers, particularly SMEs, with the goal to reduce dependency on traditional exports such as oil and agricultural commodities; and transform the higher education system and increased knowledge in science, technology, and innovation. In this context ITC aims to work both at national and regional level and to support the competitiveness of SMEs and the services sector. ITC by country - Ecuador 3 2.

MULTINATIONAL FEDERATION OF COMMUNITY TOURISM IN ECUADOR (FEPTCE) Ecuador Equator Initiative Case Studies Local sustainable development solutions for people, nature, and resilient communities UNDP EQUATOR INITIATIVE CASE STUDY SERIES Local and indigenous communities across the world are advancing innovative sustainable development solutions that work for people and for nature. Few publications or case studies tell the full story of how such initiatives evolve, the breadth of their impacts, or how they change over time. Fewer still have undertaken to tell these stories with community practitioners themselves guiding the narrative. To mark its 10-year anniversary, the Equator Initiative aims to fill this gap. The following case study is one in a growing series that details the work of Equator Prize winners – vetted and peer-reviewed best practices in community-based environmental conservation and sustainable livelihoods. These cases are intended to inspire the policy dialogue needed to take local success to scale, to improve the global knowledge base on local environment and development solutions, and to serve as models for replication. Case studies are best viewed and understood with reference to ‘The Power of Local Action: Lessons from 10 Years of the Equator Prize’, a compendium of lessons learned and policy guidance that draws from the case material.

  • A Brief History of Ecuadorian 'Ornithofily'
    Cotinga29-080304.qxp 3/4/2008 10:41 AM Page 15 Cotinga 29 A brief history of Ecuadorian ‘ornithofily’ Juan F. Freile Received 5 July 2007; final revision accepted 23 December 2007 Cotinga 29 (2008): 15–18 Presento un breve resumen de la historia de la ornitofilia, la afición por las aves, en Ecuador. El desarrollo de este ‘hobby’ en Ecuador es reciente y está en notable ascenso, aunque la investigación ornitológica lleva ya más de un siglo de vida. Los primeros albores de la ornitología en Ecuador fueron protagonizados por investigadores extranjeros, y recién hacia 1940 apareció el primer ecuatoriano en escena. De igual forma, el aviturismo también empezó como empresa de agencias internacionales (hacia 1980), pero los últimos diez años han visto el surgimiento de operadoras nacionales con guías de primer orden. Espero que esta reseña, junto con otras publicaciones previas sobre el desarrollo de la ornitología en Ecuador, incentiven la formación de una asociación nacional de observadores de aves, así como el incremento del trabajo de campo y la investigación. Bird observation is the most popular nature-related five additional species from the western lowlands of activity, and now involves considerable sums of Ecuador (probably the surroundings of Guayaquil, money10. Bird enthusiasts number millions in his hometown) are mentioned. The most notable Europe and North America, with some of the oldest example, however, is Jorge Carrera Andrade, ornithological and bird protection societies renowned as one of the most brilliant Ecuadorian numbering between 500,000 and 1,000,000 poets. Carrera Andrade, whose work appeared from members (e.g., the National Audubon Society, in the 1922 through 1972, wrote several poems devoted to USA, and Royal Society for the Preservation of birds, such us ‘Golondrinas’ (Swallows), and Birds, in the UK).

ASESOR: LCDO. ORLANDO JOSÉ RODRIGUEZ. TERCERO BGU - PARALELO B 2017 – 2018 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. First I want to thank God and Mother Dolorosa for giving me the family they have given me, because thanks to them I study in the school to which I belong and for them I have had the academic and disciplinary training that I get today. To my family who supported me from the beginning to the end of this extensive work that took us a long time to complete, they helped me with many important ideas to carry out this mission. If it had not been for the quality of teachers that I have this work would not have been possible, every hour class with each indication, each tutorial, everything served us to complete this work in a good way. ABSTRACT My goal with this monograph is to make people aware of the importance of tourism and what it generates as an industry every year, to promote the campaign created by the government "all you need is Ecuador " a bit more and to highlight lesser known touristic places in Ecuador that probably many foreigners are not aware of. The more we help to promote the tourism, the better it is going to be for the country in many aspects such as the economy. I want to help my country to be recognized as an attractive touristic destination throughout the world. At the same time to increase awareness and support for the above mentioned places since they can manage to be very valued.
