INTRODUCTION A change in some sections of this report will be in effect, incorporating a selected topic in each report, in which some activities will be highlighted as the most important contributions of the Program within the Conservation Landscapes concept. These contributions will be selected according to significant advances for the NPU’s institutional strengthening, as well as relevant developments achieved by local operators for improving livelihoods or strengthening their participation and social capital through their activities. Over the last quarter, in which several proposals were approved and contracts signed with local operators, the perspective has been unfolding as to the abilities of these operators related to the possibilities that each landscape affords according to the natural resources, as well as the economic, social and cultural aspects. For this quarter, the topic is ecotourism. During the last year, the NPU conducted several meetings and analyses to consolidate ideas on this matter, to bring together several views and integrate a route which will allow better management of the Parks as a tourism attraction and the identification of allies for developing this strategy to its full growth. On the other hand, local operators have defined their contributions through proposals which incorporate an entrepreneurial stance, in which the whole value chain for this activity is established in order to improve its conditions for development. Ecotourism has the further advantage of covering a wide scope of elements that combined make up the Conservation Landscape, in which a development issue is how to avoid or minimize the impacts such development can generate so as to “leave no trace” as one methodology has proclaimed. It is expected that these efforts can induce more people to visit these areas, generating options for local people. Another change concerns the detailed activities section, organized by each cluster, taking into account that some local operators have begun the execution of approved proposals, complementing the activities which up to the fifth quarter were carried out mainly by the NPU personnel. The Performance Monitoring Plan Section has included some additional information concerning the relevance of some activities and the advances or delays observed in each one of the targets when compared with the total numbers which must be completed by 2012. 6 2. SIGNIFICANT ACHIEVEMENTS DURING THIS REPORTING PERIOD 2.1. Ecotourism as an option for improved livelihoods and conservation The potential for ecotourism in Park areas as a growing industry, in order to be consistent with the vulnerability of many destinations, has taken into account appropriate measures for preserving special places, such as the guidelines or principles designed by international organizations such as the United Nations Environment Programme, the Convention on Biological Diversity and the UN World Tourism Organization (UNWTO). These global institutions and other NGOs have organized initiatives and tools to further develop ecotourism. Guided by these international examples, and beginning in 1999, when the tourists visiting the National Parks increased 96%, to more than 700.000 visitors yearly in 2009, the National Parks Unit has applied some elements of methodologies such as “tourism carrying capacity” and “limits of acceptable change”, in what they call a “Hybrid methodology” to control unwanted impacts in the Parks. Formal documents related to carrying capacity (Resoluciones) have been issued for Tayrona, Los Nevados, Gorgona and Vía Parque Isla Salamanca, according to the law by which maximum numbers of visitors have to be identified (Decreto 622/1977). Since 2004 some Parks which formerly had tourism infrastructure and services were given as concessions to private enterprises that could make the necessary investments and promotion for these tourism destinations. A parallel strategy was applied for community groups to provide ecotourism services in Corales del Rosario, Iguaque, Otún-Quimbaya, Flamencos, Cocuy and Utría, the last three of which participate in the Conservation Landscapes Program. (see Map of Parks with potential for ecotourism for both concessions and community ecotourism areas) The implementation of the institutional strengthening component of the CLP by the NPU has included the revision and analysis of the advantages and possible shortcomings of the “hybrid methodology”, with the technical support from the US Forest Service, through their agreement with USAID. The USFS experts had several meetings and workshops with the NPU, in which the carrying capacity measuring methods were examined, practical exercises conducted in groups, through a pilot application, where recommendations were issued regarding the Tayrona Park’s infrastructure and paths. The group including USFS and NPU experts concluded that the document for measuring carrying capacity and ecotourism impacts had a good technical approach, was easy to understand and apply. They concluded that this experience has been satisfactory and a continuation is desirable in the following aspects: 1. Capacity building in the “Leave No Trace” methodology 2. Workshop on the design and maintenance of paths 7 3. Workshop on the design and maintenance of sustainable infrastructure 4. Planing for the management of Protected Areas in relation to ecotourism 5.

  • Ethnobotany of the Sierra Nevada Del Cocuy-Güicán: Climate Change and Conservation Strategies in the Colombian Andes
    Rodríguez et al. Journal of Ethnobiology and Ethnomedicine (2018) 14:34 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13002-018-0227-6 RESEARCH Open Access Ethnobotany of the Sierra Nevada del Cocuy-Güicán: climate change and conservation strategies in the Colombian Andes Mireia Alcántara Rodríguez1 , Andrea Angueyra2, Antoine M. Cleef3 and Tinde Van Andel4,5* Abstract Background: The Sierra Nevada del Cocuy-Güicán in the Colombian Andes is protected as a National Natural Park since 1977 because of its fragile páramo ecosystems, extraordinary biodiversity, high plant endemism, and function as water reservoir. The vegetation on this mountain is threatened by expanding agriculture, deforestation, tourism, and climate change. We present an ethnobotanical inventory among local farmer communities and discuss the effects of vegetation change on the availability of useful plants. Methods: We used 76 semi-structured, 4 in-depth interviews, and 247 botanical collections to record the ethnoflora of the farmers and surveyed from the high Andean forest to the super-páramo, including native and introduced species. We organized 3 participative workshops with local children, high school students, and campesinos’ women to share the data we acquired in the field and empower local plant conservation awareness. Results: We encountered 174 useful plants, most of them native to the area (68%) and almost one third introduced (32%). The Compositae was the most species-rich family, followed by Lamiaceae, Poaceae, and Rosaceae. The majority of plant species were used as medicine, followed by food, firewood, and domestic tools. Local farmers reported declining numbers of páramo species, which were now only found at higher altitudes than before.

  • Contemporary Muisca Indigenous Sounds in the Colombian Andes
    Nymsuque: Contemporary Muisca Indigenous Sounds in the Colombian Andes Beatriz Goubert Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2019 © 2019 Beatriz Goubert All rights reserved ABSTRACT Nymsuque: Contemporary Muisca Indigenous Sounds in the Colombian Andes Beatriz Goubert Muiscas figure prominently in Colombian national historical accounts as a worthy and valuable indigenous culture, comparable to the Incas and Aztecs, but without their architectural grandeur. The magnificent goldsmith’s art locates them on a transnational level as part of the legend of El Dorado. Today, though the population is small, Muiscas are committed to cultural revitalization. The 19th century project of constructing the Colombian nation split the official Muisca history in two. A radical division was established between the illustrious indigenous past exemplified through Muisca culture as an advanced, but extinct civilization, and the assimilation politics established for the indigenous survivors, who were considered degraded subjects to be incorporated into the national project as regular citizens (mestizos). More than a century later, and supported in the 1991’s multicultural Colombian Constitution, the nation-state recognized the existence of five Muisca cabildos (indigenous governments) in the Bogotá Plateau, two in the capital city and three in nearby towns. As part of their legal battle for achieving recognition and maintaining it, these Muisca communities started a process of cultural revitalization focused on language, musical traditions, and healing practices. Today’s Muiscas incorporate references from the colonial archive, archeological collections, and scholars’ interpretations of these sources into their contemporary cultural practices.

  • THE DISTRIBUTION of Collas in the EQUATORIAL ANDES (1)
    THE DISTRIBUTION OF COLlAS IN THE EQUATORIAL ANDES (1) By WILLIAM HovANITZ (2) The Genus Colias of primarily yellow and' orange Pierid butter- flies, is largerly northern in distribution. Represerrtatives are found from Europe across the great Eurasiatic land mass to Siberia and northern Japan from where they span the narrow water barrier se- parating America and occur throughout North America. In the Me- diterranean region, representatives are found on both the European and the African shores of the sea and also are found south around the Sahara desert.' through the highlands of Ethiopia and the Sudan into the southern parts of that continent, being absent in the hotter and more humid places. Representatives are found at various elevations in the Himalayan mountain mass but shun the hot and humid plains of India to the south. No Colras is known throughout the hotter southeastern terri- tory of Asia, nor in the islands of the Indian and Pacific Oceans, nor in Australia, New Zeeland or Tasmania. In the Americas, Coliads are distributed from as close to the North Pole as there is land (Northern Greenland at 82° North Latitude) to the southern portion of the Mexican plateau without a break in the continuous distributional range. Sepa-rated by the tropical isthmus of Tehuantepec from the Mexican plateau a colony exists in the high- lands of Guatemala. Apparently, no Colias is able to withstand the hot, humid conditions of the tropics and, except for transitory popu- lations, these are absent in such portions sf the southeastern United States, Central America, the islands of the Caribbean Sea and South America that have such a climate.
