The Tierra Blanca wetland is located in "District One" of Soacha in the state of Cundinamarca and, despite having been declared a water reserve by the CAR, and progress in the protection of wetlands at global, national and regional levels, it is in an advanced state of degradation, caused by the lack of proper land use and limited ownership that community has had about this area in the past 30 years. This paper analyzes the factors that have influenced the process of deterioration, reflects on how the wetland was brought to its present state and proposes alternatives to recover the area.
