Currently in the regions of Barrancabermeja, Simacota Bajo and Cimitarra located in the department of Santander, there is a serious environmental problem due to others in the excessive exploitation of natural resources and especially the forest resource. Parallel to this situation, the agricultural frontier has been extended with mono crops such as palm and activities such as extensive livestock that have reduced biodiversity and systemic balance.
