In this place now there is a reservation called Reserva Marino Costera Galera San Francisco, in which Ecotrackers is developing together with the Central University and the Educational Unit of Cabo San Francisco the intelligent tourism, where travelers arrive to learn another language , research, or work.
In this place the humid forests still exist in front of the Pacific Ocean of South America and the Cold Current of Humboldt coexists with the Warm Current of the Child, producing both at the coast and in the Ocean, an extraordinary genetic diversity that is in constant exchange of information and vital renewal.
In 1981, Veronica Maldonado and Maximiliano Moreno, two members and founders of the foundation, made their first professional experience, as a rural doctor and as an educational and social psychologist.This happened in 1981. In that year, two important events affected Ecuador.
The first was death, even under suspicion of the president-elect, after a decade of dictatorships.
General Omar Torrijos, got the United States to return the Panama Canal and the School of the Americas to leave that country.. The School of the Americas was a high-level training school where the latinamerican police and army, were specialized in torture.
Roldós and Torrijos died similarly, in flights on presidential aircraft, which received maintenance from their North American manufacturers.
The government of Roldos was succeeded by the government of Hurtado, his vice president, who betrayed all the postulates for which the people voted, handed power to the bankers and businessmen, and ended up sucretizing his debt with international credit agencies, that is, the dollar debt of the rich turned them into debt in sucres, forcing the Ecuadorians to pay that debt, with a monetary devaluation that increased the dollars, and diminished the purchasing power of wages, impoverishing the majority and enriching a few.
The second important event that happened the following year. In 1982 came the El Niño Phenomenon, that came with some regularity every 20 years. It is produced by the warming of the Pacific Ocean, because there is a greater flow of hot water, in the Niño Current, which comes from the Indian Ocean, to the Coasts of Central and South America. When it arrives, it brings rain in abundance, causing floods. That year, the Ecuadorian coast remained flooded, with crops, roads and flooded villages, for 12 months, when it is normal for it to rain from January to June and not with so much rainfall.
In the eighties, during the El Niño Phenomenon, Ecuador discovered the shrimp industry.
This industry produced a massive destruction of the mangroves, and species that come to the beach to spawn.
During the 90's the shrimp industry was more profitable than the drug trade in Ecuador, so the banks made a new constitution in 1998, which allowed them to self-loan. Depositors' money was used to make shrimp farms and to speculate on the value of the dollar. Banks offered up to 160% interest. The Ecuadorians sold their house and ranches to put the money in the banks, living without work and interest seemed to be the best way to happiness. Finally in 1999, there was a banking crisis, because a plague destroyed the shrimp farms, and the speculation of the price of the dollar produced an uncontrollable devaluation of the national currency, the Sucre.
Because of the banking crisis, millions of Ecuadorians emigrated. Spain, Italy and the United States were invaded by ecuadorians. Money remittances from those countries allowed the country to be reborn, but its sucre currency disappeared and was replaced by the dollar.
Among the emigrants there were people from the Galera San Francisco Marine Reserve, because their beaches were used by people smugglers to take migrant boats to Central America, bound for the United States, or offered work in Spain and Italy.
The migration crisis lasted until the government of Rafael Correa arrived. This migratory crisis boosted human trafficking and drug trafficking. During the government of Rafael Correa, the situation changed completely, roads were created, schools, schools, education and health were improved. They were really free from the uniforms of the students, their breakfasts, and even lunch on the northern border, until the medicines, health centers, Peasant Social Insurance dispensaries were repaired, housing for the poorest people was built, disabled people were protected, chronic patients with cancer and other catastrophic illnesses, teachers and doctors were forced to work 8 hours , it was completely changed to the police with UPC (Community Police Units) and the large public investment encouraged the economy, and there was a large investment in credits to the farmers, to the fishermen, and in the creation of storage centers and collection, the lack of food and things disappeared, wages were among the highest in South America, which brought back the emigrants
On April 16, 2016 an earthquake of magnitude 7.8 destroyed many houses and human lives in the area and along 1000 km of the Ecuadorian coast, in the provinces of Manabi and Esmeraldas. This earthquake had more than 3500 replicas. But in an extraordinary way, the government of Rafael Correa managed to get hundreds of schools, schools, dispensaries, health centers, hospitals, neighborhoods, houses and roads rebuilt in better conditions, despite the fact that oil prices and raw materials Ecuador's exports were the worst in decades and that the Occidental Oil Company along with other oil companies, took advantage of the crisis to collect a debt, unfairly and immorally accepted by a US court of 1,200 million dollars, in revenge for his departure from the country, when Correa renegotiated the agreements with the oil companies in 2008.
Since 2000, Ecotrackers has worked in the Galera San Francisco Reserve. In the year 2017 he was able to count on Dr. Jesse Summers of New Mexico and member of Acupuncturists without borders, to study the use of acupuncture in the treatment of epileptic patients. It is currently creating the cultural, ecological and scientific center of San Francisco del Cabo, with the Central University and the College to form guides and guards to protect biodiversity, cultural diversity, and tie smart tourism to the Marine-coastal Reserve and other reservations of Canton Muisne.Summary in Spanish
Ecotrackers está desarrollando junto a la Universidad Central y a la Unidad Educativa del Cabo San Francisco el turismo inteligente, que es cuando los viajeros llegan a otro país para aprender otro idioma, hacer voluntariado, practicas profesionales, estudios o investigaciones.
En este lugar aun existe los últimos bosques húmedos frente al Océano Pacifico de Sudamérica y la Corriente Fria de Humboldt convive con la Corriente Cálida del Niño produciendo tanto el la tierra como en el Océano, una extraordinaria diversidad genética que está en constante intercambio de información y renovación vital .
En los años ochenta, durante el Fenómeno del Niño, Ecuador descubrió la industria del camarón.
Esta industria produjo una masiva destrucción de los manglares, y de especies que vienen a la playa a desovar.
Durante los años 90 la industria camaronera fue mas rentable que el narcotráfico en Ecuador, por lo que los bancos hicieron una nueva constitución en 1998, que les permitió hacerse autopréstamos. El dinero de los depositantes se usó para hacer camaroneras y para especular con el valor del dólar. Los bancos ofrecían hasta el 160% de interés. Los ecuatorianos vendían su casa y haciendas para poner el dinero en los bancos, vivir sin trabajar y de los interes parecía ser el mejor camino a la felicidad. Finalmente en 1999, se produjo una crisis bancaria, porque una peste destruyo las camaroneras, y la especulación del precio del dolar produjo una devaluación incontrolable de la moneda nacional, el Sucre.
Por la crisis bancaria millones de ecuatorianos emigraron. España, Italia y Estados Unidos fueron invadidos por ecuatoriamos. La remesas de dinero desde esos países, perimitieron renacer al país, pero su moneda el sucre desapareció y fue reemplazada por el dólar.
Entre los emigrantes hubieron personas de la Reserva Marina Galera San Francisco, pues sus playas fueron usadas por los traficantes de personas para llevar en embarcaciones emigrantes hasta Centro América, con rumbo a los Estados Unidos, o les ofrecían trabajo en España e Italia.
El 16 de Abril del 2016 un terremoto de magnitud 7.8 destruyó muchas casas y vidas humanas en la zona y a lo largo de 1000 km de la costa ecuatoriana, en las provincias de Manabí y Esmeraldas. Este terremoto tuvo mas de 3500 réplicas. Pero de manera extraordinaria, el gobierno de Rafael Correa, logró que cientos de escuelas, colegios, dispensarios, centros de salud, hospitales, barrios, casas y carreteras se reconstruyeran en mejores condiciones, a pesar de que los precios del petróleo y las materias primas de exportación de Ecuador eran los peores en décadas y que la compañía Occidental junto otras petroleras, aprovecharon la crisis para cobrar una deuda, injustamente e inmoralmente aceptada por una corte norteamericana, de 1.200 millones de dólares, en venganza por su salida del país, cuando Correa re-negoció los acuerdos con las compañías petroleras en el 2008.
Desde el año 2000 Ecotrackers ha trabajado en la Reserva Galera San Francisco. En el año 2017 pudo contar con el Dr. Jesse Summers de Nuevo Méxio y miembro de Acupunturistas Sin Fronteras, para estudiar el uso de la acupuntura en el tratamiento en el tratamiento de pacientes epilépticos. Actualmente esta creando el centro cultural, ecológico y científico de San Francisco del Cabo, con la Universidad Central y el Colegio para formar guías y guardias para proteger la biodiversidad, la diversidad cultural, y atraer el turismo inteligente a la Reserva Marino-costera y otras reservas del Cantón Muisne
