Diseño de una estrategia de participación de actores territoriales para la restauración ecológica del Humedal La Florida de la Sabana de Bogotá

Abstract

Currently the La Florida wetland is zoned as an Ecological Restoration Area in accordance with the provisions of the POMCA of the Bogotá River, since 2006 the wetland was declared a Water Reserve, however, to date the wetland is not regulated because it does not have an approved PMA, in 2018 government and business entities signed a commitment agreement through a symbolic act for the recovery of the wetland, however, despite the fact that different agreements have been signed, approved different Plans, to this day there is no clear route for participation around the ecological restoration of the wetland. Considering the above, the main objective of this degree work is to design a strategy for the participation of territorial actors to achieve the ecological restoration of the La Florida wetland, for which an analysis of the environmental situation of the wetland was initially carried out, both in sector 1 and sector 2. In this analysis it became evident that sector 1 is protected and restored and on the contrary, sector 2 is very deteriorated. Subsequently, a bibliographic review identified the activities proposed and implemented in the wetland, and it was found that those implemented do not correspond to the proposed activities, because they fall short of achieving the ecological restoration of the wetland. The stakeholders mapping was also carried out using the MACTOR software, the plane of influences and dependencies was analyzed, the balance of positioning by objectives and the convergences and divergences between stakeholders, the main findings of the research show that, the most important convergences are between the two Directorates of the CAR and the Secretary of Environment of Funza, who are the authorities in charge of coordinating the activities of conservation and protection of the wetland, these stakeholders in turn are those who have a high influence to achieve the ecological restoration of the wetland, the weakest convergences are between the governmental actors and the economic actors because there is a great challenge of articulation to work together with the companies that are located in private properties. After the stakeholder mapping, the organizational structure of stakeholder participation was developed, where media strategies for dissemination, instances and moments of participation were proposed, together with evaluation and follow-up, to finally design the strategy for territorial stakeholder participation, recommending and explaining the application of the IPP (Information, Participation and Product) methodology by means of an example. The organizational structure of participation and the strategy of participation of territorial stakeholders seeks to achieve a strengthening among stakeholders, identify new perspectives of the territory, positive changes in the ecosystem and its neighbors through the dynamization of the participation of the wetland's territorial stakeholders.
