Abstract
Since the anthropogenic factors have generated an alteration to the environment, hence causing global warming, science and technology—in this sense-- are key pieces in the preservation of the environment by creating new and friendly technologies with the different ecosystems of planet Earth. As part of the historical background, the Ministerio de Medio Ambiente y Recursos Naturales-MARN (Ministry of the Environment and Natural Resources) was created in 1997. Based on Article 30 of the Law for the Environment, said institution—along with similar ones— must collect, update and publish all information that focuses on environmental vulnerability. With the purpose of contrasting the referential, historical, conceptual and theoretical bases, this study used the qualitative method and conducted guided interviews with experts in environmental projects in El Salvador.
