Abstract

To understand the relationship between the landscape and biological agents in Cuenca during the past 15 years, it is necessary to carry out an analysis of the past, the present and the future in the history of this landscape. Living beings are agents of change and transformation of the image of the city, the plants and animals depend on us and vice versa. Unfortunately, to consolidate and grow, the city of Cuenca is losing green areas and the connection between the biological corridors that sustain the landscape.

Keywords: Biological agents, urban landscape, Ecuador.
