Diseñando el páramo con su gente : estudio de Caso: Delimitación del páramo de Guerrero, Cundinamarca, Colombia

Abstract

This degree work stablish a base line of autonomous design of future, contributing to a participatory planning to the zoning and regimen of uses of the delimitation the wilderness of Guerrero. Disoñar the wilderness with its people, it symbolizes dreaming and being part of the action, it is the ability of disoñar the integrity of the Andean mountain, it expresses other ways of being, to be and live. They are dreams that need believe in the imagination of the people for reconcile different interest, which can be contradicted, but with common agreements a joint plan would be obtained.

In the wilderness of Guerrero, native vegetation has been affected and peasant inequality persists. Mining, the green revolution that brought potato monoculture, agrochemicals and tractor, livestock, money laundering, land improvement policies to obtain a property title, attempts to reforest with exotic species, the local economic crisis that has been reinforced with free trade agreements and especially the urban expansion of the Sabana of Bogotá that needs the mercantilist conception of "the wilderness as water factories", have brought dire consequences for the territory.

Since 1992 the declaration of protected areas without the participation of the inhabitants of the wilderness, has reinforced the dichotomy between conservation and the permanence of the inhabitants and at the same time has caused the acceleration of destruction due to lack of clarity and agreement with the different social and economic factor. In 2009 the CAR 022 agreement overflowed the cup, the private interests generated divisions and misinformation, the peasants declared themselves in civil disobedience and began organizing marches in Bogotá for the violation of the right to self-determination, the CAR strengthened its action from the control and imposition, denying their role of education and participation, thus strengthening the uncertainty of the future.

Meanwhile in 2010 the imposition of the mining title in the wilderness of Santurbán ignites the alarms among the environmental movements of the country, the avalanche of the "foreign investment for the extraction of nature" is contradictory to the process of peace dialogues, multitudinous marches are raised in major cities and the government in its mining policy launches the strategy of demarcation of wilderness, this new instrument is a setback to the system of protected areas, however with the enactment of Law 1930 of 2018 and resolution 0886 in 2018 it is expected that the delimitation will become in an opportunity for the harmonization of the environmental order of the high mountain, as well as the strengthening of education and agroecology for the dignified permanence of the inhabitants of wilderness.
