Editorial: Revista La Granja Volumen 30 Número 2

Scientific editorial production is increasing in the country both in quality and organization, this year we celebrate the creation of Scielo-Ecuador, a space where quality scientific production is made visible; also showing the interest of the state in its improvement and promotion. La Granja, Revista de Ciencias de la Vida, is part of this select collection, and applauds this initiative, aware of the importance of the proper transmission and visibility of the information that arises from scientific research. In this way, and with great pleasure, we present the thirtieth issue of our collection, beginning with the themes of biodiversity conservation, a topic of current concern. In this case, Leonardo Ordóñez-Delgado and his team of researchers from the Universidad Técnica Particular de Loja analyze the state of knowledge of the Podocarpus National Park. Along the same lines, in an alliance between the Universidad Tecnológica Indoamérica and the Universidad Iberoamericana, Patricio Yánez and his team analyze the status and conservation prospects of the spectacled bear.
