Abstract (en):
The socioecological relevance of the Magdalena Medio (Colombia) region wetlands and the dynamics of their degradation reveal the need to develop restoration processes that guarantee the land's sustainability as a tool for the transformation of social realities. The study presents two examples for the development of ecological restoration participative experiences in dry and wet tropical forests and aquatic habitats of the region through the implementation of strategies that combine techniques such as nucleation, enrichment and succession facilitation. To date these experiences have allowed the identification of 32 species with potential for restoration, standing out among these Tabebuia rosea, Hura crepitans, Phyllanthus elsiae and Spondia mombin as strong agents for ecological succession processes in order to recover and generate local ecological knowledge, materialize decisions related to planning and environmental protection, and revamp the role of the artisanal fishermen in the conservation and governance of the region´s wetlands.
Abstract (es):
La importancia socio-ecológica de los humedales del Magdalena Medio (Colombia) y su dinámica de degradación, ponen de manifiesto la necesidad de desarrollar procesos de restauración que garanticen la sostenibilidad de los territorios, como herramienta de transformación de las realidades sociales. A partir de una iniciativa conjunta con pescadores artesanales, se definieron dos ventanas de estudio para el desarrollo de experiencias participativas de restauración ecológica en bosques secos, húmedos y humedales del Magdalena Medio, mediante la implementación de estrategias que combinan técnicas como nucleación, enriquecimiento y facilitación sucesional. A la fecha las experiencias han permitido identificar 32 especies con potencial para la restauración, destacándose Tabebuia rosea, Hura crepitans, Phyllanthus elsiae y Spondias mombin como fuertes dinamizadoras de los procesos de sucesión ecológica. La recuperación y generación de conocimiento ecológico propios, así como la materialización de las decisiones de ordenamiento y protección ambiental de los territorios, han permitido dar un nuevo significado al papel de los pescadores artesanales en la conservación y gobernanza de los humedales de la región.
