Valoración de impactos ambientales en el humedal laguna de la herrera

Abstract

The effects that have been occurring in the Laguna de la Herrera wetland, mainly due to anthropic factors such as mining and different discharges, have been taken into account by the competent authority, which for the municipality of Mosquera is the CAR Cundinamarca, which in response to the situation initiated the project whose objective is "to execute works for the recovery of the hydraulic capacity of the Laguna de la Herrera phase I". As any intervention in the environment, it also generates both positive and negative impacts, for this reason the objective of this work is to identify and evaluate them in order to know, through the modified Conesa methodology published by the district environmental secretariat, the degree of affectation that the works will have on the ecosystem. The project is currently being executed; therefore, some photographic evidence of the progress is presented. Regarding the bioecological component, activities for the conservation and sustainable use of the wetland are being carried out. As a result, environmental management sheets are presented for the impacts evaluated as most relevant. For this reason, this environmental assessment is a contribution to prevent, minimize and manage the environmental impacts derived from these works, in addition to contributing to the formulation of management guidelines for the impacts generated by these activities.
