Description
Summary:The Imbabura Geopark consists of several geosites of unparalleled natural and cultural wealth, a geopaik that covers the entire province of Imbabura, being declared in 2018. The purpose of the Geopark is to promote education, tourism and sustainability in the region, and to promote its natural, cultural and heritage resources. In addition, it aims to encourage the participation and commitment of the local population in the protection and conservation of the area. The Imbabura Geopark contains the Cotacachi Cayapas National Park (PNCC), located on the regional limits between the coast and the highlands of the country, between the cantons of Eloy Alfaro and San Lorenzo in the coastal province of Esmeraldas, and between the cantons of Cotacachi and Urcuqui, in the Andean province of Imbabura. This territory is of great biological importance for the Republic of Ecuador. The foregoing makes it possible to point out that from the Sustainable Development Goals "SDGs" and specifically objective 12 on the global agenda, it is necessary to "Guarantee sustainable consumption and production patterns and promote jobs and local cultures and sustainable tourism that produces products. In addition to developing and applying tools to monitor the impact on the environment".
