Abstract

The present research work seeks to pose strategic elements for the conservation of Cerro Seco as a subxerophytic ecosystem representative of Ciudad Bolívar, which, has not been incorporated within the areas of environmental and historical importance in the processes of territorial ordering, since the planning of the locality and the district has not protected its management and conservation, due to the change in the legal figures that the regulations have given it since 1993 and that has had an impact on the semantic and consequently ecological degradation of the concept of conservation. For this, the research presents, first of all, the description of the visions of the actors on development and conservation; likewise about the cost benefit of conserving the study area, through semi-structured interviews; subsequently, the relationship between the previous visions and the dimensions of sustainability is analyzed, through which the interpretation of the integral utility of conserving Cerro Seco is made and finally strategic conservation elements are formulated, in accordance with Decree 2372 of 2010 , which respond to the different dynamics and development visions of the actors in the territory.
