Impact of anthropogenic activities on protected natural areas

Abstract

The objective of the article was to investigate the impact of anthropogenic activities on protected natural areas, as well as to know the type of anthropogenic activities carried out and study the effects they produce on the protection zones. To achieve this goal, a qualitative investigation was carried out, specifically, a bibliographic review, where updated bibliography dealing with anthropogenic activities in different protected natural areas was succinctly addressed, largely from studies of Peruvian casuistry. To achieve this, the approach of grounded theory, categorization design and open coding was chosen. The research concludes that the different anthropogenic activities that can be carried out in natural areas are linked to economic development that sees protected natural areas as a profitable scenario. Human occupation, mining, agriculture, livestock, transportation and hydrocarbons are the activities that have the greatest presence in the sectors declared as protected natural areas, producing a host of alterations that end up generating pollution, deforestation and the disappearance of a habitat. harmonious for flora and fauna. It ends up demonstrating that uncontrolled human action completely affects the areas that are formulated to protect and conserve natural diversity.
