Previous and recent archaeological survey and ethnobotany, studies show that Aboriginal indigenous peoples of the territory of the current Manabi, developed complex societies, with dense populations for the period; the same that domesticated a number of plants, applied advanced techniques in the management of arable land with hydraulic engineering technologies, advanced for the era; allowing a modification of the tropical-seco and humedo- primario forest, making survival in their daily lives. Evidence on the domestication and conservation of nature, not will underpin the generation of mutually exclusive protected areas of human activity, if not in the impoverishment of the soils, the advance of desertification and the fragility of an ecosystem subject to climatic changes, product of the encounter of the streams of Humboldt and the child. Found evidence, on the fertilization of soil produced by the ancient inhabitants of this coastal area established a sustainable development, reproduction and conservation of nature in the region

Keywords : agroforestry; domestication forests; complex companies; initial states.
