Preserving the environment is more than just a task; it is a shared responsibility between citizens and organizations that focus their attention and actions toward achieving this goal.
This effort is not exclusive to CITMA because the chain of contributors is multifactorial and encompasses numerous actors. In the case of the Center for Environmental Studies and Services (CESAMVC) in Villa Clara, its director, Master’s degree holder Danaily de la Caridad Padrón Zamora, is aware of her team’s contribution in caring for flora and fauna, monitoring the migratory bird corridor, ensuring the health of corals and mangroves, and the state of protected areas, among a group of basic objectives. She refers with satisfaction to her own projects linked to achieving sustainability and Coastal Resilience, without minimizing community management for climate change adaptation based on a territorial basis.
This includes beach monitoring, with rehabilitation beginning in 2017, and ongoing assessments of water characterization, biological behavior, and sand quality. The portfolio also includes monitoring the marine protected area of Los Caimanes National Park, which in its 17 years of existence has maintained a priority strategy to protect its diversity and ecosystem balance. It is also the only existing natural park in Villa Clara and is considered one of the five Marine Protected Areas of greatest interest in the archipelago.
There are actions aimed at monitoring the Sabana Archipelago – Camagüey, to social perception in certain communities, while the network project has derived capacities that allow the training of personnel through the usefulness of workshops and other ways from knowledge that seek the exchange of ideas.
The fragility of the environment leaves established the studies of danger, vulnerability and risks attributed to the penetrations of the sea and strong winds in chosen locations, as well as the environmental monitoring based on the life task or confrontation to climate change, and the Ecovalor international project.
Regulations and security
It is up to the Office of Environmental Regulation and Safety (ORSA), among so many functions, mitigate the impacts accumulated by nature based on their determinations in the application of quality management systems aimed at environmental inspections and authorizations to processes that comply with regulations and resolutions without damaging the environment.
Dr. C. Yuniey Quiala Armenteros, at the head of the Villaclareña Orsa, alludes to the team’s competition in the control of hazardous waste and those facilities with biological risks, while not closeing eyes before the indisciplines that threaten the flora and fauna, together with other natural resources.
The gaze of its group does not depart from the monitoring of the investor processes and consultation of microlocalizations. Nor does it exclude the training of new economic actors regarding current regulations, and participates in various international projects linked to Cuban environmental guidelines.
The territory has 85 MSMEs of interest to the regulatory control extended to the economic actors themselves, and a system of emission control and transfers of pollutants (movement of elements of one ecosystem to another) has been established in accordance with the current resolutions.
There are 136 priority entities for the affidavit in the face of hazardous waste, marine and land water pollutants, others that emit towards the atmosphere, and solid waste disposition sites; However, of the total entities only 113 have declared their respective situations.
It is worth noting that the ORSA performs the State Environmental Inspection articulated with the Customs of Villa Clara, the body of rangers, the Provincial Delegation of Hydraulic Resources, the subsidiary of the National Institute of Territorial Planning and Urban Planning (INOTU), the Integral Directorate of Supervision (DIS) and the National State Inspection Office (ONIE), among others.
The circular economy
Although Villa Clara works in the transition to the circular economy since 2023, the sum is open to what many experts call the seven R: redesign, reduce, reuse, repair, renew, recover and recycle.
Master Mayelín Buedo Domínguez, head of the Department of Directorate Instruments for Environmental Policy, who 15 entities of prioritized sectors began the road in the industrial, agri -food branch, constructions, urban solid waste and tourism. Now the total is 46 by joining 31 last year.
In other words, in 14 of them a significant increase in profits is obtained, while six reduce costs. On the other hand, 13 do not generate solid waste to the landfill, they all create jobs, while nine are associated with local development projects.
EC guidelines not only minimize environmental impact, it also promotes resource efficiency and offers sustainable economic opportunities.
A conclusion derives from its essence. By extending the useful life of the products and closing the cycle of use of inputs, the circular economy is crucial for the achievement of environmental and economic sustainability, in the face of global problems that hit such as the shortage of resources and the influences of climate change.
Both Cesam and Orsa and the use of the circular economy embrace with their contributions to the dimensions of achieving healthier environments.
