The communities according to study shows loss of tree species, caused by agricultural and livestock practices without planning, by the oil industry through the opening of several kilometresof roads access to extraction areas and the installation of oil pipelines facilitates the installation of settlers, that has influenced the expansion of the agricultural and livestock frontier. This research work reflects the current state of the floristic composition of the native Forest of vascular plants in the Kunkuk community, belonging to the Inés Arango parish in Orellana province (Ecuador).

The results of the floristic inventory carried out in the period August 2016-January 2017, in the Kunkuk community, indicate a good conservation status of the Amazonian biodiversity. Six random transects of 2 x 30 m (60 m²) were made in which identified the species of vascular plants present. There were 11 families and 20 species registered. The best represented families were lauraceae, bombacaceae, arecaceae y mimosaceae.
