Art. 73

The State will apply precaution and restriction measures in all the activities that can lead

to the extinction of species, the destruction of the ecosystems or the permanent alteration of the

natural cycles.

The introduction of organisms and organic and inorganic material that can alter in a definitive

way the national genetic patrimony is prohibited.

Harmonious relationship with nature.

Our precolombian ancestors handed down to us the importance and necessity of respecting the 'Pachamama' or nature.

So, it is important to create a balance between the natural environment and the economical needs, to protect and safeguard our world

Economic relevance of natural resources

Each country counts on some natural resources, that can be converted into wealth. But a country also needs:

1) an 'environmental counsciousness' to protect the natural patrimony

2) a group of institutions in charge of verifying that the processes of creation of wealth benefit all sectors and won't leave problems for the future generations.

Natural resources

vs

Man- made resources

Processes of humanization of the nature

A natural resource is something found in nature that people can use to meet their needs.(e.g. water, tree, sun... etc... )

A man- made resource is something that doesn't exist in nature, but is obtained from natural materials through chemical processes (e.g. table, airplane, pen... etc...)

Nature establishes conditions to human beings, who can transform the nature to meet their

needs. The relationship between nature and human beings is not static and societies can realize changes into the natural world.

To realize these changes, people use natural resources and transform them into man- made resources.

What does 'transformation ' mean?

It is a change of something into something else
