Biodiversity conservation: social perception of farmers in the municipality of Doncello-Caquetá

Abstract

In the loss of native coverage, the loss of biodiversity is being observed to a great extent, due to practices of farmers such as extensive cattle raising or conventional agriculture, in which diversity of species of flora and fauna is lost, as well as the ecosystem deteriorates. This study was carried out in the municipality of Doncello-Caquetá, where some farms were located and an interview was conducted with the farmers who live there, categories of analysis of these interviews were made. As a result, families of different categories were obtained for network production, which were Biodiversity, Ecological Management, Productive Systems and Knowledge. As a conclusion, it was determined that there are farmers who conserve biodiversity through the ecological management they carry out on their farms and the productive systems they use; and that they still need some support to improve their knowledge.
