Los conflictos socioambientales en el Humedal Tibanica

Abstract

The exhaustion of the civilizational pattern has led to a general wear of living conditions on the planet, thus causing the generation in a chain of social, political, environmental, food crises, among others. All this, not unrelated to socio-environmental conflicts in the territories, due to the lack of sources of life or commons. That is why analyzing the social situation, the narratives of the subjects and the factors that influence the community organization from the local, is a political and social bet to find alternatives to the prevailing system with the construction of community links, social ties and lifestyles. The present research paper corresponds to a systematization of alternative experiences, which brings together a set of reflections on the reconstructed practice of community organization, in the middle of the socio-environmental conflict of water in the Tibanica wetland; this type of conflict generates social and environmental problems that threaten the ecosystem, with narratives that circulate among the insecurity of space, the dismantling of state institutions and the lack of ownership by the surrounding community. Nevertheless, the struggle of environmental movements in Bogotá for more than 30 years has permeated the community organization in the wetland, becoming a space of resistance and agency around environmental education and the desire to return the attributes to the ecosystem.
