Abstract

Colombia es un país megadiverso. Alberga más del 10% de la biodiversidad del planeta, de la cual, una parte importante se concentra en el bioma amazónico colombiano (BAC), que cubre más del 43% de la superficie del país. A pesar de su relevancia ecológica, esta región enfrenta amenazas de deforestación, que conducen a la pérdida de biodiversidad y a la degradación de los servicios ecosistémicos. La deforestación en el BAC se asocia a conflictos socio-ambientales como el acaparamiento de tierras, el cultivo de coca y la minería ilegal, todos ellos reforzados por el largo conflicto armado del país. Las condiciones socioeconómicas de la población del BAC afectan y son afectadas por este contexto. Sin embargo, la información socioeconómica es limitada, lo que hace difícil comprender estas relaciones. En este documento, definimos y estimamos una serie de indicadores en cuatro dimensiones: i) socioeconómicos y demográficos, ii) ecosistemas terrestres (bosque), iii) ecosistemas asociados a agua dulce, iv) conflictos socio-ambientales. Además, analizamos las interacciones entre los indicadores y categorías dentro y entre cada una de las dimensiones. El análisis resalta las condiciones precarias de la población en la región, que son aún más extremas entre las comunidades indígenas. A la vez, municipios con mayor proporción de población indígena corresponden a mayores niveles de conservación de bosque natural. A nivel regional, la zona noroccidental es la más amenazada. Estos hallazgos se discuten a la luz de la conferencia del Convenio de Diversidad Biológica.
