Abstract

En este documento se estudian las variables ambientales, económicas y sociales de la ciénaga continental más grande de Colombia, Zapatosa. Este ecosistema está repartido entre dos departamentos (Cesar y Magdalena) y cinco municipios (Chimichagua, Tamalameque, El Banco, Chiriguaná y Curumaní), en donde viven 150.000 personas y pastan 170.000 cabezas de ganado. La crítica situación ambiental de la ecorregión de Zapatosa y centro del Cesar se explica por diferentes causas como la pobreza, las explotaciones mineras, el bajo nivel educativo de su población y el aislamiento geográfico. Fenómenos exógenos como el cambio climático afectan el ciclo de las lluvias y las crecientes en la cuenca del Magdalena y esto, a su vez, acentúa los períodos de inundaciones y sequías en las ciénagas del Bajo Magdalena. En la búsqueda del desarrollo sostenible, es necesario que las dos corporaciones autónomas regionales que comparten la administración de la ciénaga de Zapatosa (Corpamag y Corpocesar), al igual que los municipios que están en su jurisdicción, asuman el compromiso ineludible de controlar la sobreexplotación de los recursos naturales en este cuerpo de agua.
