| Descripción: | It was identified believes, attitudes and values towards wetlands of people from the districts of San Antonio, Quebrada Honda and Mansión of Nicoya, Guanacaste. 210 people were interviewed at random. The most of the people knows the main causes the deteriorate these ecosystems: deforestation, litter and agrochemicals; and they point out: lumbers, farmers, and mainly, human beens with no education, nor consciousness as the major responsibles of this damage. They also coincide that the main consecuences of these changes are: less water availability, less amount of animals and more heat and dust. Despite Nicoya inhabitants have a possitive valuation towards wetlands, as they are able of identifying their principal benefits, and that they agree in the need of conserving them, it is concluded that there is no real consciousness in this people, translated in a responsible behaviour before the environment, as the deterioration process continues. Therefore, it is recommended to promote in these Nicoya communities processes of strategic planning, which allow them to execute actions aiming to improve the quality of these wetlands, benefiting as well the people living nearby. |
