Abstract:	This research is based on the need to discuss the responsible use of natural resources, on the predatory and devastating role that the human species has played on this planet. But as the research process progressed, other variants of the problem emerged, since it was identified that the irrational use of natural resources has not only affected the ecosystem but has also impacted the lives of various indigenous communities in Colombia. In many cases, these communities realized over time that their ancestral territories were decimated to the point of being cornered into small areas of land with limited access to natural resources, which are necessary for the development of their daily activities and, in the absence of these resources, they experienced a process of colonization that is leading to their extinction as an ancestral culture. This is the actual context in which this research is located, for which the qualitative approach is used since interviews were conducted with four people who are knowledgeable about the problem and who provide valuable information about the understanding of the consequences. This allows concluding that by working towards sustainability and the sustainability of natural resources, society is contributing to the survival of these indigenous communities that are part of the cultural heritage of the nation.
