In Portoviejo, most of the services that we use comes from the ourtsides of the city like the water. This water that we use comes from to R epresa Poza Honda wich it´s ubicated 53 km far away. ![REPRESA POZA HONDA][1] b. Regulating services: In my city, Portoviejo ceibo is the only tree that grows in Manabi, it has therefore been declared world patriminio and is forbidden to cut it for civil works. It is also controlled the construction of informal settlements in the hills of Portoviejo. Besides care in the mangrove La Boca is controlled, located 20 minutes from the city of Portoviejo. c. Habitat or Supporting services: Portoviejo basin has a high level of environmental deterioration caused by deforestation, burning of vegetation, inappropriate agricultural practices, improper invasion riverbanks, discharge of sewage, garbage disposal, among other causes. is It estimates the Portoviejo River basin receives about 20 million cubic meters wastewater per year. That said, we know that efforts to help environmental biodiversity are minimal. However, there are government agency responsible for regulating environmental biodiversity d. Cultural services: In Portoviejo we don´t have so many cultural services, however I would say that The Jardin Botanico is the only cultural and most beautiful natural service that we have, it is a park full of trees. ![JARDIN BOTANICO][2] [1]: https://edxuploads.s3.amazonaws.com/14603292691965625.jpg [2]: https://edxuploads.s3.amazonaws.com/14603296694177583.jpg
