Resumen
The unique Record of Ecosystems and Environmental Areas (REAA), created by The Ministry of Environment and Sustainable Development (MADS), has the objective to identify and prioritize ecosystems and environmental areas of Colombia that are not included in the unique National Record of Protected Areas, in order to implement payments for environmental services and another stimulus for nature conservation. With the purpose of reach this objective, a new methodology is created, trying to generalize the process to determinate the ecosystems and areas. This will be a helpful tool for autonomous corporations and other competent authorities that can and need to apply the methodology. In this work a methodology based in the REAA’s general objective and supported in the Geographic Information Systems was generated through sub-models in ArcGIS, This methodology was applied on the department of Quindio as a proof of the applicability of this kind of methodologies.
