Description
Summary:According to IUCN, the high percentage of this endemism is under some category of threat. The objective was to evaluate the diversity and ecology of the Araceae family, as a potential to complement forest conservation policies in this region. The results show that the abundance of species was similar between Sarapullo and La Perla, but in the Peripa Sector it was less than two, it should be noted that this sector has undergone selective extraction by the Tsáchila community, although it was presented here the greatest diversity. The genus of hemiepiphyte and epiphytic habits are presented in a greater percentage compared to the genres of terrestrial habits, the shafts probably provide a better guarantee of survival.
