Ítem Percepción de la comunidad campesina sobre los servicios ecosistémicos del municipio de San Bernardo, CundinamarcaRuiz León, Carlos Ariel; Pinzon Nuñez, Sonia Alexandra; Sonia Alexandra Pinzon Nuñez [0000-0003-0746-0598]Currently there is a growing need to integrate social actors with the comprehensive assessment of ecosystem services (ES), which recognizes their perception and relationship with the socio-ecological system. Although numerous studies have been carried out based on this approach, it is a priority to advance its inclusion in territorial planning, towards the definition of management measures that guarantee the sustainable provision of ecosystem services. For this reason, the National Association of Peasant Users of Cundinamarca (ANUC, in Spanish: Asociacion Nacional de Usuarios Campesinos) has undertaken the task of compiling information on the perception of its members about the different benefits they receive from nature and their relationship with the socio-ecological system, which is essential to advance in territorial planning. The purpose of this work was to analyze the perception that the community of peasant users of the ANUC has on 13 ecosystem services of provision, regulation and cultural identified in the municipality of San Bernardo in the Department of Cundinamarca. 25 semi-structured surveys were conducted to local ANUC member actors, who were selected by non-probabilistic sampling, each service was assessed by the categories of importance, exchange value and vulnerability using a Likert scale. The data was studied from frequency tables and simple correspondence analysis (SCA) using the free Infostat software. The results show that the community prioritizes provision services over regulation and cultural services, and also conceives a threat to its long-term sustainability due to the current practices of expanding the agricultural frontier and the possible execution of fracking projects, for the oil exploitation in your municipality.Ítem Estimación del contenido de carbono presente en la biomasa aérea de individuos de Pseudolmedia laevis (Ruiz & Pav.) J.F. Macbr procedentes del municipio del el Retorno, departamento del GuaviareMora Ardila, Paula Juliana; Lopez Camacho, Rene; Lopez Camacho Rene [0000-0003-2026-0371]The principal idea about this study was estimates the carbon content present in the aerial biomass of 30 individuals of Pseudolmedia laevis (Ruiz & Pav.) J.F. Macbr from the Municipio El Retorno, Departmento of Guaviare from the adjustment of tapering models. Whit the idea of fulfilling this purpose the diameter measurements were taken at different heights until the maximum possible of all the trees was reached, The data obtained were adjusted to the models of Kozak, Munro, & Smith (1969), Demaerschalk (1972), Lowell (1986) and Riemer (1995) using the software R Studio, and Fiel Maps. whit the objective of estimate volume, the validation of the assumptions of normality, homoscedasticity and autocorrelation was carried out; The model that, according to the graphic analysis and the evaluation matrix constructed, obtained the best goodness of fit was selected, evaluating the adjusted coefficient of determination factors and the predictive capacity through the statistics of the root mean square error (RMSE), aggregate difference (AD), mean absolute error (MAE) and standard deviation of the residuals (SDR). The density was calculated with the method of obtaining dowels and test tubes, which were evaluated for their level of correlation. The Riemer (1995) model was found to be the best fit with an R2 of 0.9969, a root means square error of 0.014, an aggregate difference of 0.016, a mean absolute error of 0.017 and a standard deviation of the residuals of 0.00035, in addition to being easy to develop and apply, which is why it was selected for carbon estimation. The results of the analysis indicate a mean density of 0.6182 (g/cm3), a positive correlation in the methods of obtaining density, but with low correspondence. The total biomass was 5,450 t, equivalent to 10,019 t of CO2-eq stored in the total number of individuals.Ítem Apoyo técnico al seguimiento y evaluación de los trámites de aprovechamiento forestal y concesiones de aguas superficiales gestionados en la Corporación Autónoma Regional de Boyacá desde la jurisdicción de Soatá, BoyacáRomero Ceferino, Sandra Milena; López Botia, Favio; Velandia Leal, Nancy MilenaEnsuring sustainable regulation of forest resource utilization is paramount, with responsibility falling on public institutions such as the Ministry of Environment and Sustainable Development (MADS) at the national level, and Regional Autonomous Corporations (CAR) and Corporations of Sustainable Development (CDS) at the regional level in Colombia. These entities oversee the administration, granting, and monitoring of permits for forest resource utilization and the restoration of degraded areas. The Regional Autonomous Corporation of Boyacá handles these processes within its jurisdiction, encompassing four territories and 87 municipalities in the department. From its territorial office in Soatá, it manages permits for unique, persistent, and domestic forest resource utilization. The objective of the internship is to conduct a structural and prospective analysis of the current management of forest resource utilization processes in the Soatá region. To achieve this, field activities, cartography, and multitemporal analysis of vegetation coverage will be conducted. The obtained results will identify areas for improvement in processes and offer recommendations to optimize management and set objectives aligned with environmental conditions. Ultimately, this aims to contribute to forest conservation and the well-being of local communities depending on these resources.Ítem Apoyo al proceso de monitoreo y evaluación del impacto de las estrategias de restauración de arbustales y bosques secundarios del plan piloto de restauración El Quimbo (Huila - Colombia)Solano Castro, Yeshika Andrea; García Martínez, Andrés Sebastián; Avella Muñoz, Edgar Andrés; Torres Romero, Francisco Javier; Avella Muñoz, Edgar Andrés [0000-0002-1595-1154]; Torres Romero. Francisco Javier [0000-0001-7017-2922]Tropical dry forests in Colombia have suffered a serious decrease in their coverage, causing them to be in danger, this makes them key ecosystems for conservation. The "El Quimbo" hydroelectric plant located in the department of Huila has an environmental compensation area of 11,079 hectares of tropical dry forest, where an Ecological Restoration Program was implemented, which has a Pilot Monitoring Plan in 140 hectares raised with the in order to know the effectiveness of the restoration program. It is currently in the evaluation stage of its effectiveness, in the demonstration phase of the impacts of restoration strategies. The present degree work focused on evaluating the performance of the planted material and the potential impact of the restoration strategies implemented in the shrublands and secondary forests of the central and southern zones of the compensation area: Edge expansion, Enrichment and Multinurses; For this, a database was structured that contained all the monitoring information of the three strategies mentioned, with which the Average Annual Increment (IMA) in height and 5 diameter at the height of the base (DAB) was calculated, in addition to the survival rates for the species and the average obtained according to the different strategies. The Edge Enlargement and Multinurse strategies presented survival rates above 80%, the latter being the one that presented the highest performance with 49.5 cm in height and 5.5 mm in DAB, while Enrichment obtained an average rate of 60%; the latter also recorded the lowest IMA in diameter and height (16.4 cm and 1.8 mm, respectively). Finally, as a sampling prototype, 38 permanent plots were established to start monitoring at the community assembly scale; Finally, a rating model was proposed to evaluate the impact generated by the implementation of the different strategies in shrublands and secondary forests, based on some key ecological attributes based on acceptance ranges presented by the reference ecosystems determined for the area. study; it was found that the Multinurse strategy has played a fundamental role in accelerating the successional dynamics of restored ecosystems.Ítem Apoyo en la ejecución de las actividades ambientales propuestas por la Corporación Autónoma para el Desarrollo Sostenible del Chocó en la jurisdicción Costa PacíficaMillán León, Paula Katerin; Polanco Tapia, Cesar Augusto; Polanco Tapia Cesar Augusto [0009-0001-9530-1628]Through Law 99 of 1993 in Colombia, autonomous regional corporations were established, tasked with managing the environment and natural resources to promote sustainable development in their territories.

As a result, the database of the executed projects is delivered in accordance with the requirements of the validation and verification bodies and the certification programs that contain spatial analysis and related cartographic products, project documentation in accordance with the evaluation of quality of the organization and calculations of GHG reductions and removals.Ítem Evaluación y monitoreo de los procesos de restauración ecológica mediante el análisis de dinámicas de crecimiento en la Reserva Biológica el EncenilloRomero Buitrago, Valentina; Moreno Valles, Danna Valeria; Rivas Diazgranados, Mariam; Porras Rey, Adriana MarcelaThis study focuses on the evaluation of ecological restoration in the Reserva Biológica El Encenillo - Guasca, Cundinamarca. Data from twelve plots were recorded, analyzing increments, growth rates, recruitment and mortality, as well as diameter classes, height, diameter, basal area, volume and canopy cover by species. Species such as Alnus acuminata, Cedrela montana and Verbesina crassiramea were identified with good development. Alnus acuminata and Verbesina crassiramea showed high survival, while others such as Dodonaeae viscosa and Cestrum parvifolium showed low survival. Photointerpretation of satellite images showed a positive increase in forest cover and a transition at both small and large scales.Ítem Apoyo técnico a la caracterización de la lluvia de semillas en el predio Hacienda Las Mercedes, gestionado por el Jardín Botánico de Bogotá José Celestino Mutis en la línea de restauración ecológicaNarváez Quintero, Zulma Sareth; Bonza Pérez, Niria Pastora; Pérez Suárez, Bibiana; Pérez Suárez, Bibiana [0000-0003-3482-3120]Seed rain is an important mechanism of natural regeneration in ecological restoration areas that have been altered and degraded, affecting their structure, function and composition. Such is the case of the Las Mercedes forest, located in the Thomas van der Hammen Productive Forest Reserve in the Suba district. Since 2014 the JBB has been developing connectivity processes involving the forest and the La Conejera Wetland through ecological restoration strategies such as the introduction of native species and the implementation of multi-layered corridors. Seed rain research provides very useful information for the management and sustainability of this forest, and to carry out this methodology 11 transects were installed in the multi-strata corridors established since 2014 and 11 in the grasslands adjacent to the corridors, each with a length of 25 m; seed traps were also installed at each point of the transects (A and B). The monitoring, opening, collection, cleaning, counting and classification of the seeds was carried out during 4 months, where these activities were supported by the internship together with the organization of databases of the characterization of the vegetation and the data obtained from the seed collection. As for the results, a total of 14718 seeds were obtained, classified into 53 species and 18 families. The species with the highest abundance was Baccharis latifolia with 11747 seeds, followed by Alnus acuminata with 950 seeds, due to its anemochorous dispersal mechanisms and the morphology of its seeds.Ítem Determinación de la diversidad de órdenes de macrofauna del suelo en áreas de restauración de sabanas inundables sometidas a pastoreo y monocultivo de maíz (Yopal, Casanare)Betancourt Murillo, Luisa Fernanda; Cortés Ballén, Rocío del PilarThe flooded savannas of the Fundo Palmarito Civil Society Nature Reserve, in the La Unión district (Yopal, Casanare), are ecosystems that have been modified and subjected to intensive grazing and corn cultivation. These modifications influence the soil-plant-water relationship and, in turn, the diversity of soil macrofauna. The sensitivity of macrofauna to changes in land use defines this group as a biological indicator of soil quality and health. This study was developed using the TSBF (Tropical Soil Biology and Fertility) methodology for diversity estimation and comparison between land uses of macrofaunal orders. Sixty soil monoliths of 25x25x10 cm, distributed in three land uses: introduced cattle pasture, maize crops and conservation (gallery forest), were analyzed, where the presence of 16 orders and a total abundance of 2794 individuals were determined. The evaluation of true diversity according to land use showed that pastures had a higher richness (q0) and a higher diversity of dominant species, while forests had more rare species (q1), and the area with corn crops had the lowest richness and diversity. The analysis of indicator species by land use revealed that Blattodea, Gastropoda, Lepidoptera and Trombidiformes are indicators of gallery forest, and the infraorder Isoptera in dry sampling points. Ordination analysis with multivariate methods PCA and NMDS indicated that macrofaunal composition influenced by waterlogging conditions at the time of collection (R²=0.0838; p=0.010) and elevation (R²=0.1502; p=0.026). The above allowed testing and evaluating the use of macroinvertebrate communities in the monitoring of changes in soil quality associated with management practices, taking into account that reforestation activities will be implemented in the study area, which will be monitored.Ítem Identificación de la flora presente en los senderos de la Estación Bambusa como apoyo para la consolidación de la segunda etapa del Jardín Botánico Forestal de CundinamarcaMora Amaya, Francy Katherine; Cortes Ballén, Rocío del PilarThe final report of the internship conducted in the future second headquarters of the Forest Botanical Garden of Cundinamarca, called Bambusa station, is presented. The main objective of this site is to continue with what was proposed for the Chilacas station in 2019, which was to develop an agroforestry, ornamental, and fruit production center focused on the multiplication of native species of high Andean ecosystems and the ecological restoration of the area. One hundred forty-six species belonging to 51 families were identified in the sampling on the trails planned for the Bambusa station. We identified 117 individuals at the species level and 26 at the genus level. The most representative families in terms of the number of species found were Fabaceae, Asteraceae, Piperaceae, Moraceae, Malvaceae, Myrtaceae, and Solanaceae. It was determined that 58% of the flora present in the Bambusa station is native, which corresponds to 65 species; of these, Calliandra tolimensis and Onoseris purpurea are endemic to the Cundinamarca region. Notably, of the 146 individuals collected and identified, 41 correspond to herbaceous plants, including many ferns. It is recommended to implement an enrichment plan with species native to the area to increase the diversity and richness of species in the area and promote the conservation of the local flora through living collections of plants.Ítem Criterios costo eficientes para compensaciones por aprovechamiento forestal de árboles aislados autorizados bajo licenciamiento ambiental en ColombiaTautiva Rozo, Oscar Mateo; Moreno Gutiérrez, Jaime Alberto; Moreno Gutiérrez, Jaime Alberto [0000-0002-0754-513X]Social development in infrastructure, different public and/or private interests, attention to emergencies and different priority requests within the framework of forest harvesting in Colombia are variables that shape the extraction of forest products, change and alteration of ecosystems and the environment. In Colombia, different types of harvesting are recognized by law, such as single harvesting, persistent, domestic, uses by operation of law, and isolated trees, regulated by the different competent environmental authorities, among which are the National Environmental Licensing Authority - ANLA, the Regional Autonomous Corporations - CAR, and Sustainable Development, municipalities, metropolitan areas with more than one million inhabitants and authorities created under Law 768 of 2002. Given the presence of isolated tree harvesting within the projects subject to licensing, approved by the National Environmental Licensing Authority - ANLA for the department of Antioquia that triggered forestry compensations for the year 2022, as a result of the implementation of projects, works or activities. Compensations are a measure implemented due to the residual nature of the impact caused by the logging of isolated trees, so the applicants of the environmental process must attach the corresponding compensation plan to compensate for the damages caused. This study intends to know the current requirements in terms of forest compensation in the framework of forest harvesting of isolated trees, from which criteria are proposed that should be considered in the compensation plans, in order to meet the objective and satisfy the purpose that originates the instrument of forest compensation for harvesting of isolated trees, in conjunction with a cost-effective proportionality in the execution and development of activities that the compensation means.Ítem Apoyo en la ejecución de actividades forestales para el cumplimiento de las metas institucionales que realiza la Corporación para el Desarrollo Sostenible del Área de Manejo Especial La MacarenaCruz Arias, Ángela María; López Botía , FavioWithin the framework of sustainable development, the Corporation for the sustainable development of the La Macarena special management area – CORMACARENA, is responsible for managing and administering renewable resources in the department of Meta, which is cataloged as one of the deforestation centers of the country, occupying second place with the highest figures for this problem. Therefore, the Corporation, in accordance with the 2020-2023 Institutional Action Plan “We are life, we are Goal”, has within one of its strategies the so-called “Green Goal”, with the purpose of contributing to the recovery of natural conditions. of ecosystems for the conservation of the biodiversity of the territory, through restoration, rehabilitation and recovery actions, which consist of planting trees in areas subject to degradation and/or deforestation processes, with a goal of 4,650,000 trees planted during the four years of the MYP. These actions, complemented by forest governance, are aimed at stopping the problems faced by forests throughout the country; In this way, they will be carried out during the internship as a support for the process of advancement and fulfillment of the institutional goals that the corporation has.Ítem Apoyo en la investigación de los rasgos funcionales de Vallea stipularis y Quercus humboldtii asociados al carbono en tres zonas de BogotáAli Ospina, Valentina; Pulido Rodríguez, Esperanza Nancy; Pulido Rodríguez, Esperanza Nancy [0000-0003-1670-446X]In Colombia, in the inventories of national GHG emissions carried out by IDEAM, an increasing trend has been identified, the sectors with the biggest participation are agriculture (38.1%) and energy (36.6%), respect to total national emissions they cover 75% of total emissions (Pulido, 2012). In Bogotá, the total emissions recorded correspond mainly to the transportation sector, which generates a contribution of 48% (Alcaldía Mayor de Bogotá, 2017). This brings with it consequences such as extreme temperatures and variation in rainfall, impact on the availability of drinking water, alteration of crops; and in biodiversity and ecosystem services due to the modification in behavior, as well as in the dispersion of plant and animal species of strategic ecosystems (IDIGER, 2023). In addition, the great impact of GHGs on global biodiversity is denoted; This is because the increase in atmospheric CO2 has an important effect on the physiological behavior of plants, since it regulates vital processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, metabolism, stomatal behavior, among other processes (Taiz & Zeiger, 2006). . Therefore, the purpose of this internship is to support the evaluation of the functional traits associated with carbon of two species in three areas of Bogotá with different anthropic intervention (Jardín Botánico de Bogotá José Celestino Mutis, the Reserva Umbral Cultural Horizontes and the Modelia neighborhoods and Hayuelos in the Fontibon town) to understand the responses of these plants to environmental filters. The species studied were the Raque (Vallea stipularis) of the Elaeocarpaceae family, and the Oak (Quercus humboldtii) of the Fagaceae family, because they are native species present in the urban trees of Bogotá and because they have ideal leaf characteristics for the measurement of functional traits. The traits were measured in five (5) individuals of the two (2) species in each of the three (3) selected sites; That is a total of 30 individuals measured (15 of each species). The functional traits evaluated were: Leaf area (AF) Specific leaf area (AFE) Leaf dry matter content (CFMS) Leaf thickness (EF) Stomatal density (DE), Stomata size (TE), Leaf area index (LAI) Leaf internal CO2 concentration (Ci) CO2 assimilation (A) Stomatal conductance (gs) Transpiration (E) Maximum photosynthesis (Amax) Dark respiration (Rd) Photosynthesis efficiency (ΦEfoto) and Wood Density (DM). The photosynthetic response to light (A/PAR) in Quercus humboldtii was higher in the Horizontes Cultural Threshold Reserve (1400 μmol(photons)m-2s-1) compared to the other sites, while in Vallea stipularis it was slightly higher (1900 μmol(photons)m-2s-1) in the streets of Fontibón in relation to the other sites. Regarding the traits of Quercus humboldtii, such as leaf area index, stomatal conductance, CO2 assimilation, transpiration and internal CO2 content, they did not show significant differences between the three locations evaluated, suggesting that these traits They are not plastic in this species. However, in Vallea stipularis, CO2 assimilation was lower in the Jardín Botánico (1.79 ± 0.75 μmol(CO2)m-2s-1), while the leaf area index was lower in the streets of Fontibón (0.33 ± 0.06) and the internal CO2 content was lower in the street (275 ± 42.55 μmol mol-1). Maximum photosynthesis for Quercus humboldtii was higher in the Jardín Botánico (7.21 μmol(CO2)m-2s-1) and lower in the Reserva Umbral Cultural Horizontes (3.26 μmol(CO2)m-2s-1). On the other hand, in Vallea stipularis, maximum photosynthesis was higher in the Reserva Umbral Cultural Horizontes (11.7 μmol(CO2)m-2s-1) and lower in the Jardín Botánico (8.21 μmol(CO2)m-2s-1). The SD was significantly higher for Q. humboldtii and V. stipularis individuals located in CLL with respect to individuals located in JBB. Similarly, the difference was also significantly greater for V. stipularis individuals located in CLL with respect to individuals located in RUH. The gs was higher in the V. stipularis individuals located in RUH and followed by the individuals located in the JBB; for Q. humboldtii the gs was higher for the individuals located in JBB and followed by the individuals located in RUH.Ítem Propuesta para la revegetalización con especies nativas como forma de compensación de huella de carbonoGaravito Perez, Leiddy Xiomara; Polanco Tapia, César AugustoThe Carbon Footprint is the representation of the total volume of greenhouse gases (GHG) produced by human economic and daily activities, expressed in tons of CO2eq (carbon dioxide equivalent), this indicator measures both direct and indirect emissions, and entities can reduce or offset them with the implementation of various projects (E. Schneider & Samaniego, 2009). Compensation or removal activities are developed when it is not possible to stop emitting GHGs, understanding these activities as "Actions aimed at compensating and reimbursing communities, regions, localities and the natural environment for the negative impacts or effects generated by a project, work or activity, which cannot be avoided, corrected or mitigated" (Decree 1076, 2015, Art. 2.2.2.2.3.1.1.). Taking into account the above, Banco de la República, as a sustainable organization, has been developing work to consolidate itself as a low-carbon organization, aimed at being certified as Carbon Neutral. In accordance with the strategy established by the Bank to reduce the generation of GHG, and to compensate the gases emitted; the purpose of this report is to document the work developed during the internship, which was aimed at identifying which species are more recommendable for the development of compensation projects that promote the efficient cost for their implementation.Ítem Apoyo a las actividades de programación y ejecución del proceso de poda en los individuos del arbolado urbano a cargo de la empresa Ecoasisthir SASJaramillo Arce, Luis Gabriel; López Botía, FavioUrban forestry is an articulated system that encompasses planning, evaluation, diagnosis, management and supervision actions that are fundamental for the good management of urban trees, in which tree individuals are managed at a physical and chemical level so that These fulfill their ecological functions in an optimal and safe condition; For Colombia, this process had its forceful beginning in 1994 with Law 142 of the same year. As time went by, the requirements and definitions linked to this work were consolidated. In turn, it was established that the entities that provide public home services will be in charge. of this landscape component, these being responsible for carrying out with a technical and precise level the various activities necessary for this, ensuring the survival and growth of individuals; With a particular interest in Public Cleaning Services companies, we found that they are in charge of aerial pruning of all trees located in public spaces that do not interfere with bodies of water or power lines, along with exceptions such as height, conditions to roads or constructions, among others pertinent to the botanical garden and other responsible entities, which makes the cleaning companies responsible for the largest area of intervention, therefore, pruning work is one of the most relevant in the maintenance of the urban trees, hence the importance of technical knowledge and its application in their activities. Given this need, the transversal view of the different phases involved in a pruning cycle allows the objective and practical construction of methodological tools that can optimize the adequate management of urban trees in Bogotá in addition to the awareness and dissemination required to adequately involve the community.Ítem Cuantificación y evaluación de la huella de carbono de la empresa Perenco Colombia LimitedPerea García, Cesar German; Polanco Tapia, Cesar AugustoThis report presents the calculation of the carbon footprint of the company Perenco Colombia Limited for the Casanare district, in the period from 2019 to 2022. Taking 2019 as the base year, and supported by the NTC ISO 14064-1 methodologies of 2019 and GHG Protocol. Defining a total of 194,667 Ton Co2eq as carbon footprint for the base year. Likewise, it provides as a critical area the generation of energy from gas, with a representation of 77% of the total GHG generation, and the Sardinas and Trinidad stations with the main contribution to the carbon footprint with 32.6 % and 16%, for a total of 48.6%. On the other hand, a comparison is made of the carbon footprint produced per barrel of crude extracted in each of the years; examples of GHG reduction due to switching fuels for power generation are presented; and finally, the best alternatives are proposed to achieve compensation for the company's carbon footprint and achieve carbon neutrality.Ítem Apoyo técnico en la investigación "variación del carbono orgánico en el suelo del Jardín Botánico de Bogotá José Celestino Mutis"Garzón Suárez, Diana Alejandra; Lagos Caballero, Jesús AlbertoThe José Celestino Mutis Botanical Garden of Bogotá has an area of approximately 20 hectares, where 34 living collections are kept with a specialty in high Andean forest and páramo (JBB, n.d.), which is part of the main ecological structure of the city, contributing to the diversity of ecosystem services where climate regulation is highlighted through the storage of organic carbon in the soils. Currently, a project entitled "Variation of organic carbon in the soil of the José Celestino Mutis Botanical Garden" was proposed, which seeks to address the problem of the lack of information and data regarding the storage of carbon in the soil of the Entity. The objective of the internship is to support the research "Variation of organic carbon in the soil of the José Celestino Mutis Botanical Garden of Bogotá" by taking soil samples in 21 sites established by their importance and representativeness, sending samples to the IGAC laboratory, organizing a database with the results obtained in laboratory analyses, measurement of seven physical properties that allow them to be complementary to the research and at the same time be the basis for the development of the topic of interest (deepening), and elaboration of a database with bibliographic information that serves as input for the research project.Ítem Criterios de selección de 15 especies de interés para la restauración en la Amazonía colombiana.Valderrama Lozano, Natalia; López Camacho, René; 0000-0003-2026-0371Between 2001 and 2020, 2.3 million hectares of forest were lost in the Colombian Amazon, representing 5.2% of the region's forested area. This loss is primarily attributed to the expansion of agricultural frontiers, forest fires, other human activities, and indirectly to a lack of awareness of the Amazon region's potential. Urgent measures are needed to address this situation and adapt to climate change, particularly through the restoration of the Amazon. The proposed project aims to identify and validate criteria for selecting 15 priority species for the restoration of the Colombian Amazon. These species are chosen from a list of 74 prioritized by CORPOAMAZONIA. The project focuses on environmental, social, and economic criteria to ensure the long-term effectiveness and success of the restoration efforts. Collaboration among scientists, local communities, businesses, and environmental authorities is crucial to achieving these goal.Ítem Apoyo en la consolidación y análisis de datos del componente biótico con énfasis en las temáticas forestales para la toma de decisiones en los diseños de proyectos y actividades asociadas a los planes de manejo ambientalEspinosa Rojas, Sandra Catalina; Polanco Tapia, César Augusto; Polanco Tapia, César Augusto [0009-0001-9530-1628]ISA Intercolombia S.A. E.S.P. It is the largest company providing public high-voltage energy transmission service in the country and the only one with national coverage. It is part of ISA and its companies where it is in charge of developing, managing, building, operating and maintaining its assets in the National Interconnected System (SIN). It has 12,000 kilometers of line circuits and is present in 402 municipalities, thus contributing to the development and competitiveness of Colombia. ISA Intercolombia’s premise is to reduce intervention in the areas where its projects run, following the necessary technical and financial guidelines for the sustainable development of the country within the regional and national environmental legal frameworks. Therefore, one of the challenges presented by transmission projects is to identify the areas subject to forestry use and the growth of vegetation over time, taking into account that most projects are linear and run through various biomes, life zones, ecosystems and plant covers. Additionally, forestry harvesting areas must comply with the guidelines established by the Environmental Authorities, which restrict intervention activities of vegetation cover in various areas of the national territory; On the other hand, forestry exploitation is necessary to comply with the Technical Regulations for Electrical Installations (RETIE), which establishes the technical requirements to build and operate transmission projects. Thus, when the vegetation fails to comply with the technical guidelines established in the RETIE, either because they come into contact with the circuits (cables) or are less than 5 m from them, transmission projects can interrupt their operation. Operation and in the worst case scenario generate fires within their easements; therefore; It is necessary to adequately manage the vegetation that is located within the easement and in surrounding areas. These vegetation managements generate high costs, both in the construction and operational phases of the projects. Additionally, the transmission projects must be framed within the times established by the Mining and Energy Planning Unit (UPME) or by private sectors, who limit the times for capturing vegetation information; Therefore, the projects have a single collection of information in the forest censuses and the plant characterizations of the Environmental Impact Studies and LIDAR information. With the development of the internship at ISA Intercolombia S.A. E.S.P. It supported the processes of review, purification and consolidation of the forest census databases, which are the basis for the execution of the activities of the biotic management programs and from these databases it sought to strengthen the methodology to the estimation of vegetation growth to achieve forestry exploitation areas and thus design projects more objectively
