CONEXUS Policy Brief 11 - Urban Wetland protection and restoration Learning from Bogotá’s conservation and co-management policies

Resource description:

Wetlands are ecosystems of great ecological and cultural richness. However, throughout Latin America and Europe, human activities such as cattle ranching, agriculture and urbanisation have destroyed many of these ecosystems. Based on the concrete experience of the city of Bogotá, this document proposes recommendations for conservation policies for these ecosystems in urban and peri-urban contexts.
