Análisis Comparativo de la Vulnerabilidad Climática en Áreas Protegidas Marinas en Alemania y Colombia en Función del Riesgo

Abstract

Motivated for the difference between the protected areas management in a global view, after completing the intership period in Jasmund national park in Germany, this investigation compare the climate change risk management in two marine areas catalogued by the UNESCO as biosphere reserves, focussing on the condition and the effects that the variations in the atmosphere have. The biosphere reserves chosen for this analysis were Wattenmeer (Schleswig-Holsteinisches Wattenmeer) in Germany and Seaflower in Colombia. The purpose was to start studying the creation of protected areas in the world and in this two countries, one developed and the other in develop, and thus to find some variables, which in relation with the climate chang, will be studied the vulnerability of the ecosystems and manage the risk, looking for a comparion of this variables and to propose mechanisms of improve. It was found, that Seaflower have some problems with the relation between human and nature, a trascendental factor not just for achieving the goal as a reserve of the biosphere, but also for helping ecosystems to to resist and to adapt to changes. Another factor is the need to innovate in adaptation projects, since the coming changes have not happened before the way they do now in the whole human history, so new actions and adaptations are a must.
