Opis

This report consists of a description of the socio-ecological system of the La Vaca wetland and an analysis of the natural and socio-economic conditions of the system, which allows us to determine the main effects that generate the loss of its identity. One of the effects that has generated the greatest impact is the illegal urbanization that has occurred over time in the wetland area due to the large migrations of displaced population from rural areas, this has caused the loss of much of the area and increased pollution of the ecosystem, in addition to the lack of management by the environmental authorities whose indifference has contributed to the gradual loss of the development area of the ecosystem and it is increasingly difficult to recover and continue with its proper functionality. Through this research, the most critical scenarios in which the wetland is affected are identified and at the same time some contingency measures are proposed to increase the resilience of the wetland in order to recover and conserve it, since this system is on the verge of environmental collapse.
