Identificación y caracterización de los conflictos ambientales que se presentan en la localidad de Bosa, Bogotá D.C. 2021.

Abstract

Activities that degrade and deplete natural resources are rejected by communities, due to the risk that their development represents, on their quality of life, and satisfaction of fundamental rights and needs. That is why it is necessary to build stories and experiences, in addition to relating elements, that allow to identify the complexity in scenarios where social actors are protagonists, in relation to the conservation and preservation of the place where they live and its surroundings. (Alvarez 2017) That is why the identification and characterization of environmental conflicts in the town of Bosa, Bogotá is carried out through the implementation of a descriptive methodology, to express their particularities. During the development of this research, different environmental stressors are evidenced, which have been in the territory for a long time, and in cases, have caused irreparable damage to the affected ecosystems. The environmental conflicts identified in the Locality are: Humedal Tibanica and Humedal de la Isla, since they have different characteristics and make them ideal settings for the presence of environmental conflicts. Thus, the incidence of different social actors in the protection of the environment is roughly concluded, however, it is necessary that the community and the different organizations, who plan different development projects, can dialogue in an effective way, in order to avoid negatively impacting the environment and the people around these projects.
