Rationale: Why is this case interesting?
The Cordoba wetland is one of the 13 wetlands of Bogota – Colombia. It is located in the northwest of its city in the Town of Suba, in an urban location with an area of 40.4 hectares. Wetlands are natural settings that for social and cultural reasons in the dynamic of the city have been immersed in an urban environment in which both its structure and function have been significantly altered. Córdoba Wetland besides being a lung for the city, it has a great natural wealth that needs to be preserved, a variety of flora and fauna can be seen in this specifically place. Although urban wetlands are protected areas and have the same physical conditions and benefits as non- urban wetlands, in the urban context they are exposed to a variety of harmful impacts, which deteriorates them and are making them disappear. The most common alterations have been draining, dredging, and filling of wetlands; modification of the hydrologic regime, highways construction; and water pollution.
