Comparative analysis of Spanish regulations on the protection of forest areas and their differences with Ecuadorian law
Abstract
Currently, forests cover about 4060 million hectares in the world, representing 31% of the earth's surface and hosting a large part of the biodiversity of flora and fauna, which, over the years has been diminished because of the old beliefs that their resources were unlimited, These beliefs are no longer valid due to the different studies that show that many of these resources are non-renewable, which has generated a great interest on the part of human beings to conserve and protect it, all this through the creation of several international and national legal instruments that are directly linked to the protection of the legal good called environment. In view of the above, the purpose of this paper is to analyze the protective regulations of the existing forest areas in Spain and Ecuador, thus being able to compare them and determine whether their operation is really in compliance with the existing regulations.
