The areas of the Protected Areas National System (SINAP) are of great strategic
importance for the supply of ecosystem services, for the supply of water directly and
indirectly to the Colombian population, in a superior percentage than 52%. Thus, in the
average high - Chorroso Fragua river basin, located in a buffer zone of Natural Indi
Wasi National Park, it`s being projected the construction of a regional pipeline to supply
the municipalities of San Jose del Fragua, Albania and Curillo; however, there are
agricultural activities that threaten the conservation of water resources, and still
doesn`t exist the tools that allow the approach of impact`s alternative mitigation. Given
these considerations, this research tries to make an analysis to assess if the
introduction of economic incentives is a tool that allows to mitigate the impacts
produced to these ecosystems.
With that objective, it was made a preliminary analysis of the economic viability in
incorporating a compensation scheme for ecosystem services, that enable the change
or improvement of agricultural and livestock activities that negatively affect the middle
and upper basin of the Fragua Chorroso river. It was developed a benefit/cost analysis
for production activities, for which surveys were conducted at 35 livestock producers
and 24 cane producers. It was found that both activities are unsustainable from a
financial and environmental point of view, and that the opportunity cost for livestock is
much higher than for sugarcane cultivation. Likewise, it is evident that the change in
land use is low, situation that can be seen as an opportunity to implement a
compensation scheme for Ecosystem Services (CSE), which must take these values
as a reference. |
