| description | The Serranía de las Quinchas is located in the region called Magdalena Medio in Colombia, with well-conserved forests, high biodiversity, and high levels of endemism. However, there are socio-environmental conflicts derived from the presence of social actors that grow illicit crops, perform illegal usage of the forest, and develop activities associated with oil and natural gas exploitation. The anthropic pressure in the area has transformed the landscape, resulting in a fragmentation process that is reflected in the loss of forest density and biodiversity. In order to ensure the connectivity of existing forest fragments, a zonification of the areas was performed to identify the levels of structural connectivity, using physical, socioeconomic, and biotic criteria. Resistance and connectivity models were generated, resulting in 40.8% of the area with a very high level of connectivity to a high level of connectivity in which preservation and protection are proposed, 19.8% with a medium level of connectivity with the proposal of protection and restoration, 39.4% are areas with a low level of connectivity to a very low level of connectivity in which sustainable activities, silvopastoral and agroforestry systems are proposed. |
