In addition, the inductive-deductive method was used. The analytical-synthetic method was also used. The technique used to collect information was the survey, through the application of a questionnaire to a sample of 78 citizens of the Amazonian territory of Pastaza, Sucumbíos and Napo. In conclusion, it can be said that the purpose of this report is to make people aware of the problem of pollution and the violation of their rights that this problem causes in the Amazon and at the national level. The inadequate use of indiscriminate logging of the endemic balsa in the Amazonian territory has an impact on environmental pollution.
