Resumen

La presente investigación se realizó en la zona sur de la provincia de Napo, cantón Tena, a las riberas del río Napo en las parroquias: Puerto Misahualli, Chonta Punta y Ahuano, en un área de importancia global por formar parte de las zonas de transición de las reservas de biosfera Sumaco y Yasuní. Se seleccionaron cinco comunidades mediante muestreo intencional con la finalidad de cumplir con los siguientes parámetros: ubicación de la comunidad respecto al camino transitado (cerca o lejos), grupo étnico (kichwas), tamaño de la comunidad (grande mayor de 40 hogares y pequeña menor a 40 hogares) y disponibilidad de proveer información. La metodología también usó cinco categorías de uso del suelo: bosque que se refiere a bosque nativo y secundario, sistemas agroforestales (SAF) que incluyen las áreas de realces, y la categoría de pastos y cultivos de ciclo corto. Los resultados muestran tasas de deforestación promedio anual de entre 1,17% a 3,67% a nivel comunitario, cifras relativamente altas considerando la tasa de deforestación anual reportadas por la autoridad forestal nacional en Ecuador. Los resultados también muestran que fincas mayores a 2 hectáreas poseen áreas de bosques entre el 20% y el 84% dependiendo del tamaño. El documento finaliza con algunas recomendaciones para un mejor manejo forestal a nivel comunitario.
