From the policy begins with the analysis of Law 115 of 1994, who considers that education is a means to walk towards peace and a scenario to know and preserve natural resources from an ecological culture in defense of the cultural heritage of the Nation . The foregoing shows how the Public Policy in Colombia, for example for the sustainability of the páramos, has been thought not only from the environmental but also from the educational. Analyzing Public Policy in Environmental Education, from the sustainability of the páramos implies recognizing this territory not as a neutral space, but as a natural, historical and social configuration, with political, economic, cultural and educational dimensions. It is here, where the debate opens up to investigate the actions through which the teachers of educational institutions of Cundinamarca generate knowledge, conservation and preservation of the páramo landscape recognizing the practices and relationships between man and nature.
