Contamination in Ecuador

In Guayaquil, Malecon 2000 Foundation -one of the most important foundation in Ecuador-is a company that recovered at a contaminated site and turned it into a tourist site. This institution was designed, implemented and manages the Malecon 2000 and the Malecón del Estero Salado, within the Urban Regeneration Plan of the City. The estuary is recovering from environmental pollution and is expected to again be the resort of Guayaquil, in a second golden age. The golden age of the estuary came in 1922, when banks opened in the American Park amusement park. In 1966 he replaced the Parque Guayaquil. Then, the indiscriminate cutting of mangroves, waste industries settled in the foothills north of the river, sewage and garbage dumped by the population of the estuary polluted suburb. The rivers are on track 65% of the waters of the rivers in the Sierra are contaminated because they receive the sewage of cities, have residues of insecticides, detergents and organic waste. The same waters of the rivers were used for the generation of electricity, which caused a second problem, since the pollutants covered up dams which were also the cause of disease in populations that settled on its banks.

Being responsible with the environment, we will eliminate the power of the pollution.
