Impacto ambiental generado por la ganadería al interior de los parques nacionales naturales de Colombia

Abstract

The present research work consists of the description and analysis of the environmental problems generated by livestock within the National Natural Parks of Colombia and the actions carried out by the National Government to mitigate deforestation as a direct consequence of the aforementioned livestock economic activity.

The research problem was to analyze the legal system in order to establish whether there are currently regulatory provisions aimed at mitigating the environmental impact generated by livestock within the National Natural Parks of Colombia, if they are effective in counteracting its main consequence, that is, the deforestation of the National Natural Parks and Protected Areas of Colombia.

This analysis will also allow to know the efforts advanced by the establishment to neutralize the loss of biodiversity, climate change, soil erosion, social conflicts and loss of food sources and medicines, generated by the deforestation of the National Natural Parks and Protected Areas of Colombia for the development of livestock; It will also allow us to reflect on whether this fight in environmental protection has already been won, or on the contrary, there are still regulations pending to be implemented that are effective.

The research was carried out based on the case study methodology, obtaining information from various sources, mainly the Law, resolutions issued by the ICA, directives issued by the Office of the Attorney General of the Republic, as well as investigations carried out by non-governmental organizations constituted for the protection of the environment and the Amazon.
