Centro de investigación ambiental ECOLAGOON

Abstract

The project to be undertaken is an environmental research complex near the town of Mosquera, Colombia, where the Cerro Gordo is located; Where an environmental neglect that affects the ecosystem of the municipality is observed. After an investigative analysis determined that the state of the lagoon La Herrera, adjoining the hill is deteriorating, primarily by mining on the slopes of the mountain which borders to the south. In addition to this, a constant contamination occurs due to the dumping of waste from the municipalities of Mosquera, Funza and Madrid, near the area. It is imperative to formulate a protection of fauna and flora present in the lagoon and its contiguous ecosystems, encouraging the modernization of agriculture and ecotourism through an academic / corporate equipment and connecting it with pedestrian paths which mark a historical tour, cultural, environmental and agricultural. It is conducted documentary research on the elements that make up the ecosystem of the lake and its surroundings, where threat and risk factors are classified, regulations, municipal projects and references; then a joint with the municipal head is raised to reach the architectural element and turn it, integrate harmoniously with the landscape through environmental tours. As a result an environmental complex is obtained with a primary use of scientific advances, complemented by public / recreational and economic uses, which together tend for the rehabilitation of the sector.
