Plan de manejo ambiental ante la reubicación de epífitas por la ejecución de obras viales. Estudio de caso : Vereda “El Páramo”, Municipio de Pamplonita, Colombia

Abstract

To solve the environmental impact on the epiphytic flora caused by the road works, these plants are rescued and relocated to conserve their genetic heritage and maintain the ecosystem services they offer; but the inclusion of the community in these ex situ conservation projects is limited, having low environmental governance. The objective of this research was to identify the social actors involved in the process of relocation of epiphytic flora affected by the construction of the Cúcuta-Pamplona double road, functional unit 1 through a Mapping of key actors (MAC), to know their perceptions about the execution of compensation and identify their participation by applying semi-structured interviews, and a Management Plan form based on the principles of Governance (efficacy, equity, transparency and legitimacy), in order to strengthen the results of environmental conservation. This model was socialized and discussed in a Focus Group with the key stakeholders involved, where its suitability in projects that link the rescue and relocation of epiphytic flora was approved. The methodology applied in this research had a qualitative approach. The approach with the actors included in an enrichment of knowledge of investigative and academic interest, which was valued to deepen the behavior towards the conservation of nature, credibility in the conservation process and appropriation of the territory.
