Book excerpt: The country of Ecuador is found in South America and is surrounded on three sides by Colombia, Peru, and the Pacific Ocean. Colombia is located to the north, Peru to the east and south, and the Pacific Ocean to the west. Ancient indigenous civilizations, the Inca Empire, Spanish colonization, and a war for independence in the 19th century are just a few of the events that have contributed to the country’s illustrious and intricate history. The year 1822 marks the year when Ecuador achieved its independence under the leadership of Simón Bolvar. Today, the nation is well-known for its diverse wildlife and extraordinary topography, which includes the Andes Mountains, the Amazon Rainforest, and the Galápagos Islands, among other natural wonders. There are indigenous people, people of European descent, and Afro-Ecuadorians living in Ecuador, and the country has a rich cultural legacy that is commemorated via song, dance, and other forms of art.

Download or read book Mangroves and Aquaculture written by Stuart E. Hamilton and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-08-09 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book uses five decades of map data, air photos, and medium to high-resolution satellite imagery to track the expansions of aquaculture and the loss of both estuarine and mangrove land covers in Ecuador. The results are staggering. In some regions, Ecuador has lost almost 50% of its estuarine space and approximately 80% of its mangrove forest. The current estuarine land cover bears no resemblance to the historic estuarine land cover. The analysis is complete from 1968 to 2014. The analysis covers all the major estuaries of mainland Ecuador. The research expands beyond purely land cover into the land use of the estuaries and the implications of the land cover transitions. The author lived in Ecuador's estuarine environments for almost two years studying this area. During this time he conducted mapping workshops with local residents, conducted 100 interviews with local actors, conducted six group discussions with fisherfolk syndicates, conducted eight presentations, worked on a shrimp farm. He was employed by the Ministry of the Environment on a Prometeo fellowship for one-year researching estuarine health and worked on mangrove replanting projects in the estuaries. In addition to the remote sensing data, the author provides a contextual framework to the analysis. It is not just hard numbers that are presented, but a remote sensing analysis tied to local actors that tell a coherent almost 50 -year estuarine story at the national, provincial, and local scales The book is intended for researchers, academics, graduate students, NGOs, and government actors including those who work in development, environment, and policy implementation. It is suitable supplemental reading for students in courses related to the coastal zone, land use change, and remote sensing. The electronically supplementary material includes all the related data to underpin the analysis as well as all the resulting GIS files.

Download or read book Performing Politics Making Space written by Carolin Schurr and published by Franz Steiner Verlag Wiesbaden gmbh. This book was released on 2013 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Constructing more inclusive political spaces has been a central concern of social movements in postcolonial societies. This book engages with Ecuador's recent processes of political transformation by questioning to what extent these contribute to a decolonization of Ecuador's democracy. Based on visual ethnographic research in Ecuadorian local politics, it interrogates the effect of women's and indigenous people's political participation on building more inclusive, intercultural political spaces. The volume develops a poststructuralist electoral geography capturing the embodied, emotional, and intersectional performances that produce political spaces. In doing so, it breaks new empirical ground and expands the field of electoral geography, connecting it to current conceptual debates in human geography. Carolin Schurr was granted the Schweizer Preis fur Lateinamerikaforschung der Fonds fur Schweizer Lateinamerikaforschung 2014 (Swiss Award for Research on Latin America).

Book excerpt: This is the first book to comprehensively discuss Ecuadorian soils. Richly illustrated, it provides information on the unique characteristics and distribution of these soils. Due to the influence of the Andes, which vastly modified the climate and parental materials, a relative small country like Ecuador has a wide variety of soil orders, rarely found in other countries. The country is divided into three distinctive regions by the Andes: The Coastal Plain, the Andean Highlands, and the Amazonia Region each with different soil development, influenced by the varying conditions in that region. It is also necessary to consider the Galapagos Islands as a separate region with a particular climate and parental material.
