Abstract

One of the most worrisome environmental problems in my municipality is drought, in some regions caused by deforestation for palm planting and in others as a consequence of the explorations made by the hydrocarbon industry. One of the most important water sources in the municipality of San Martín de los Llanos is the Camoa pipe, which has been deforested and which also suffered exploratory attempts by the oil companies. It has great scenic beauty in its route, both in the upper sector of the municipality in the Viso Colorado path, which is the birthplace area, in the urban area where it is visited for family recreation, and in the lower sector in the rural area where, due to the dimensions of Its flow is navigable by small motor boats and is supported by its wealth of fishing. The project aims to identify and locate geographically which sites require specific ecological restoration activities, either with reforestation or isolation, and what recommendations can be given to the Municipal Administration so that the recovery activities of the Camoa pipe are made according to needs. real and not to isolated plantings of trees that do not contribute to the restoration of the gallery forest and the preservation of springs, in this way the preservation of wildlife corridors, livelihood for wildlife and preservation of native flora of our municipality can be guaranteed. On the other hand, it seeks to unite proposals from the community surrounding the Camoa pipe in the rural area, the creation of legal figures that really encourage the care of the Camoa pipe and the gallery forest.
