The services provided from biodiversity and ecosystems are endangered by the various activities carried out by human. Among them, mining and agricultural activities have contributed to the loss of biodiversity and deterioration of ecosystems, however the damage generated by mining is overshadowed by the economic benefits it brings. Thus, the objective of this study was to compile scientific literature that helps to determine the way in which these activities harm biodiversity and ecosystems, as well as the negative effects that they trigger between them. To do this, original and review articles from the Web of science, Scopus and Scielo databases were used. The findings show that there is contamination with heavy metals, a product of mining and the use of agrochemicals by agricultural activity. However, there are negative externalities generated in a unidirectional manner, with agricultu...

The services provided by biodiversity and ecosystems are endangered by the various activities carried out by man. Among them, mining and agricultural activities have contributed to the loss of biodiversity and deterioration of ecosystems, but the damage caused by mining is overshadowed by the economic benefits it brings.

To do so, original and review articles from the Web of Science, Scopus and Scielo databases were used.

This study adjusts the net national product (NNP) and gross domestic product (GDP) of the Peruvian mining sector by incorporating natural capital depreciation, new discoveries, and environmental degradation during the period 1994–2018. The results suggest that NNP has been overestimated, on average, by 172 % to 210 %, which is attributed to the omission of natural depreciation. When GDP was corrected, the overestimation fluctuated between 64% and 72%. This highlights the importance of including natural capital depreciation, especially in countries whose economies are highly dependent on extractive industries, as is the case of Peru.

Las especies del género Cinchona son reconocidas mundialmente por su eficacia en el tratamiento contra la malaria. Para el Perú, este género reviste mayor importancia a los aspectos forestal y cívico, por representar la riqueza del recurso vegetal. Sin embargo, en la actualidad sus poblaciones se encuentran fuertemente amenazadas por diversas actividades antropogénicas. El Parque Nacional de Cutervo (PNC) es la primer Área Natural Protegida (ANP) del Perú y es considerado como unidad de conservación para el género Cinchona. Objetivo: Determinar la diversidad genética y las relaciones filogenéticas de las especies del género Cinchona presentes en el PNC. Métodos: Nosotros evaluamos 13 muestras empleando el marcador matK y se generó un árbol filogenético empleando el método de máxima verosimilitud con soporte de filogenia bootstrap. Resultados: 8 haplotipos fueron registr...

Species of the genus Cinchona are recognized for their effectiveness in treating malaria. For Peru, this genus is of greater importance regarding forestry and civic aspects, because it represents the richness of the plant resource. Nevertheless, nowadays Cinchona populations are strongly threatened by various anthropogenic activities. Cutervo National Park (PNC) is the Peruvian's first Protected Natural Area (ANP) and is considered as a conservation unit for the genus Cinchona. Objective: Determine the genetic diversity and phylogenetic relationships of the species of the genus Cinchona that inhabit the PNC. Methods: We tested 13 samples using the matK marker and a phylogenetic tree was generated using the maximum likelihood method and bootstrap measures of phylogenetic support. Results: 8 number of haplotypes (h) were recorded, with haplotype diversity (Hd) 0.859 and nucleotide diversit...
