The objective of this research proposal is to design and functioning of an Indicator System Resilience in the National Parks in general and in the Yasuní National Park in particular, that responds to the need to have a sufficient set of data capable of monitoring the short, medium and long term the persistence of protected area against changes or environmental impacts.
