Abstract (en)

A reason why the environmental problem exists is the lack of citizen culture. In Colombia, the indifference towards the current situation of the Bogota River is evident. However, if the citizens took small actions, they could make the difference and it would allow, not only to make a serious and significant recovery process of the Bogotá River, but also to accelerate the existing one. For many years, the GEP Foundation has been carrying out a program of citizen awareness in the region of Tequendama Waterfall, in order to recover this icon as a historical, cultural and environmental heritage.

Abstract (es)

Una de las causas de los problemas ambientales es la falta de cultura ciudadana. En el caso de Colombia, la indiferencia frente a la problemática del río Bogotá es evidente. Sin embargo, pequeñas acciones realizadas por los ciudadanos harían la diferencia y permitirían no solo realizar un proceso serio de recuperación de la cuenca, sino también hacerlo en un tiempo mucho menor. En la región del Salto de Tequendama, la Fundación GEP adelanta, desde hace varios años, un programa de sensibilización ciudadana con el objeto de recuperar este ícono como patrimonio histórico, cultural y ambiental de la Nación.
