| description | This study assessed the environmental and socioeconomic conditions of the La Cortadera moor in order to identify the environmental impacts to be considered in the provision of the carbon capture service. Using the methodology of the Secretaría Distrital de Medio Ambiente (2013) for environmental assessment and evaluation, two scenarios were proposed, the current and one with carbon credits, in order to compare how the provision of the capture service contributes to the recovery and conservation of the environment. Among the results, 82 impacts were identified in the current scenario, where significant, temporary and mitigable adverse impacts related to the anthropic activities carried out in the moor predominate; while in the scenario with carbon credits, 30 environmental impacts associated with the biotic, abiotic and socioeconomic environments were identified, of which 25 are positive and are classified mostly as significant and of high importance, linked to activities of administration of the protected area, institutionalism, research, generation of knowledge and strengthening of the socioeconomic and cultural component. According to the negative impacts of the current scenario (90%), the moor has been affected and fragmented to a considerable degree, mainly due to the expansion of the agricultural frontier. For this reason, as shown by the results in the scenario with carbon credits (83% positive impacts), the structuring of a protocol for the provision of the capture service in the ecosystem and the environmental management plan to mitigate the identified impacts would contribute to its recovery, conservation and sustainable development. |

Este estudio evaluó las condiciones ambientales y socioeconómicas del páramo La Cortadera con el fin de identificar los impactos ambientales que se deben considerar en la prestación del servicio de captura de carbono. Mediante la metodología de la Secretaría Distrital de Medio Ambiente (2013) para la valoración y evaluación ambiental, se plantearon dos escenarios, el actual y uno con bonos de carbono, con el fin de comparar cómo la prestación del servicio de captura contribuye a la recuperación y la conservación del medio ambiente. Dentro de los resultados, se identificaron 82 impactos en el escenario actual, en donde predominan los adversos significativos, temporales y mitigables relacionados con las actividades antrópicas que se realizan en el páramo; mientras que en el escenario con bonos de carbono se identificaron 30 impactos ambientales asociados a los medios biótico, abiótico y socioeconómico, de los cuales 25 son positivos y se encuentran clasificados mayoritariamente como significativos y de importancia alta, vinculados con actividades de administración del área protegida, institucionalidad, investigación, generación de conocimiento y fortalecimiento del componente socioeconómico y cultural. De acuerdo con los impactos negativos del escenario actual (90%), el páramo presenta en su lindero un grado de afectación y fragmentación considerable atribuido principalmente a la expansión de la frontera agropecuaria. Por tal motivo, como muestran los resultados en el escenario con bonos de carbono (83% de impactos positivos), la estructuración de un protocolo para la prestación del servicio de captura en el ecosistema y del plan de manejo ambiental para mitigar los impactos identificados contribuirían a su recuperación, conservación y desarrollo sostenible. Este estudo avaliou as condições ambientais e socioeconômicas do pântano La Cortadera para identificar os impactos ambientais que devem ser considerados na prestação do serviço de captura de carbono. Através da metodologia da Secretaria Distrital de Meio Ambiente (2013) para a valorização e avaliação ambiental, foram propostos dois cenários, o atual e um com bônus de carbono, a fim de comparar a forma como a prestação do serviço de captura contribui para a recuperação e a conservação do ambiente. Dentro dos resultados, foram identificados 82 impactos no cenário atual, onde predominam os adversos significativos, temporais e mitigados relacionados às atividades antrópicas realizadas no páramo; no entanto que no cenário das emissões de carbono foram identificados 30 impactos ambientais associados ao meio biótico, abiótico e socioeconómico, dos quais 25 são positivos e estão classificados, na sua maioria, como significativos e de elevada importância, ligados a atividades de administração da área protegida, institucionalidade, investigação, geração de conhecimento e fortalecimento do componente socioeconômico e cultural. De acordo com os impactos negativos do cenário atual (90%), o páramo apresenta em seu limite um grau de afetação e fragmentação considerável atribuído principalmente à expansão da fronteira agropecuária. Por esta razão, como mostram os resultados no cenário com bônus de carbono (83% impactos positivos), a estruturação de um protocolo para a prestação do serviço de captura no ecossistema e do plano de gestão ambiental para mitigar os impactos identificados contribuiriam para a sua recuperação, conservação e desenvolvimento sustentável.
