The floricultural crops of the Bogota Savanna and their relationship with birdlife: a look from the municipalities of Madrid, El Rosal and Facatativa. rev.udcaactual.divulg.cient.

The survival of a high number of bird species found in the Bogota Savanna, some of them endemic, depend to a great extent on the strategies incorporated in the economic activities developed, such as, those of the floriculture sector -intensive crops of flowers-, which provides part of the food of the birdlife. In recent decades, there has been a sustained increase in the region of floriculture farms, generating, in some cases, conflicts due to territorial overlaps with birdlife. In this sense, this article attempts to analyze the expansion of the floriculture sector in three municipalities of the Bogota Savanna: Madrid, El Rosal and Facatativá, relating them to the social representations of the workers of floricultural enterprises and their role in the ecological protection of the various species of birds, both endemic and migratory, that arrive in this part of the Colombian territory. The implemented methodology has had a mixed design based on the application of three main phases: the detection of the increase in flower crops in the municipalities under study through the multitemporal analysis of satellite images, the implementation of social surveys to the workers of the enterprises related to the avifauna present on the farms and the socio-environmental analysis of the situation in the municipalities of Madrid, El Rosal and Facatativá in relation to the topic discussed. The purpose of the work is to demonstrate the responsibility of flower companies in the protection of the birdlife of the Sabana de Bogotá
