Apoyo en los procesos de actualización de información geográfica y temática de los planes de manejo de áreas protegidas de parques nacionales naturales de Colombia, para su integración y divulgación en ArcGIS online.

Abstract

Protected areas (PA) have become relevant worldwide as an in situ conservation strategy, since in addition to preserving biodiversity, they have become spaces for sustainable use, recreation, tourism, research and monitoring, offering an alternative for the community in general and especially for those who live there, also being in line with the objectives of sustainable development. Through the development of this work in an internship modality, under the Estado Joven program, support was provided for the review, purification and consolidation of geographic information, mainly on the thematic line of research and monitoring, and especially, that generated through endorsements of investigation, to the Group of Planning and Management of National Natural Parks of Colombia in order to integrate them and make the respective disclosure in ArcGIS Online tools. Support was also provided in adjustments to the management plan experiences of 11 PAs and in the interactive elaboration of the zoning and management intentions and the updating of the database on the guarantees granted during the current year. In this sense, there are 12 story maps as results and products generated, of which 11 correspond to the disclosure of the zoning and management intentions of assigned PAs and 1 used to disclose the research portfolios of the 62 PAs of the System of National Natural Parks of Colombia. The construction of 2 experience builders was also carried out for the thematic line of research and monitoring, 1 dashboard for the specific case of the results of research endorsements and 2 Web Maps used in the construction of these results.
