The Yali Wetland (RAMSAR World Reserve) currently has 2 of its 3 dry lagoons, in the absence of water regime and climate change. Due to these problems, the project seeks to create an efficient management and conservation system for its closest environment (Quebrada Santa Rosa), taking advantage of the conditions to activate and regenerate ecosystems.
In order to reduce and mitigate the causes of degradation, and taking into account the climatic, geological and natural conditions in the area and its immediate surroundings (El Yali Wetland, RAMSAR Area). The proposal consists of the efficient Management of the Water Resource as the main premise, through a park for the protection and conservation of the Biodiversity of the Quebrada. Which houses water collection areas, germination areas, protection areas, native forests, study and analysis area, recycling and compost, insects, among others. In turn, creating a circular system between the community, fertility and land use, research, protection, development and management of vegetative communities (endemic, osmoregulatory, low water consumption, and tolerant to water stress), and maximum use of the waters in all their forms of expression (dew, fog, coastal trough, evapotranspiration and rain) through a water collection system.
In order to create a Biodiversity Production Area and study of the behavior of vegetative and animal species, soils, macro and micro invertebrates, and how these elements can contribute to greater moisture retention, maximum use of water, and training Replicable study and intervention model throughout the country, according to the specific conditions of each area.
