Zonificación ambiental participativa y caracterización de la pequeña minería tradicional del carbón en el Complejo Páramo de Guerrero - Tausa, Cundinamarca

Abstract

The Guerrero Paramo Complex is an ecosystem that has a strategic location for the country due to its proximity to Bogota, along with the moors of: Chingaza and Sumapaz make up much of the water network that feeds the capital of Colombia and some surrounding municipalities that make up the savannah of Bogota, among these, Tausa, considered the hydrographic star of the region thanks to its ecosystems of Andean and high Andean forest, peatlands, swamps and a very varied classification of soils and in turn a very particular variability in the landscape and bodies of water; However, this ecosystemic wealth has been affected by the development of anthropic extractive activities and human settlements, which has resulted in inappropriate land use and thus in an accelerated transformation of the environment and the expansion of the agricultural frontier, including coal mining, which has traditionally been developed in the municipality. This internship consisted of the development of the Environmental Zoning of the CPG in the municipality of Tausa and the Characterization of Traditional Small Coal Mining in the municipality through the design and development of databases and thematic cartography to support the structuring of the Environmental Management Plan of the CPG. The internship was developed in agreement with the Corporación Autónoma Regional de Cundinamarca (CAR), under the supervision and collaboration of the moorland group of the Environmental and Territorial Management Directorate of the CAR.
