Futuros Alternativos para la Región de Loreto

 

ALTERNATIVE FUTURES FOR THE REGION OF LORETO,
BAJA CALIFORNIA SUR, MEXICO

Comparing the Scenarios

Figure 34 graphically displays the aggregate performance of each of the Alternative Futures, using summary indices for economic and environmental performance. The socio-economic index
is the same as explained earlier. The environmental index is based upon the results of the visual terrestrial ecology, and marine ecology models. The terrestrial ecology impacts are not as
important in Loreto. Therefore the terrestrial ecology indictor is given half the weight of the visual nd marine aspects. Moving from the upper left to the lower right implies a trade-off between
conomic performance and environmental quality. Movements from the lower left to the upper right indicate an improvement in both economic and environmental terms. The distribution of the
twenty-five Alternative Futures confirms the strong relationship between environmental and economic outcomes for Loreto. The results also suggest that limiting the amount of growth is essential for Loreto to achieve the best socio-economic and environmental results.
