View Original Image at Full Size

This image gives an overall view of the current land use in the Gordeleg catchment (Southern Ecuadorian Andes). During the last four decades, radical socio-economic and demographic changes induced high land pressure in the central Inter-Andean basins. This manifests itself in an upward movement of the agricultural frontier, whereby the natural vegetation is increasingly converted to agricultural lands.
