Abstract

El reconocimiento ambiental de la Amazonia no necesariamente se traduce en la implementación de políticas ni en la asignación de recursos financieros para su conservación. Además, recientemente se ha manifestado un creciente interés y compromisos financieros para la conservación de los bosques. Este documento busca identificar los fundamentos que debe tener un arreglo financiero para reconocer el valor del capital natural de la Amazonia colombiana. Para ello, se explica qué es el reconocimiento y valoración económica del capital natural; luego se expone la urgencia de tomar una acción al respecto; después, se describen fondos forestales; en seguida, se presenta el rol de la cooperación internacional en el financiamiento para conservación; y se finaliza con unas recomendaciones para fortalecer los mecanismos financieros existentes.******Abstract: The environmental recognition of the Amazon does not necessarily translate into the implementation of policies or the allocation of financial resources for its conservation. In addition, there has recently been a growing interest and financial commitment to forest conservation. This document seeks to identify the fundamentals that a financial arrangement should have to recognize the value of the natural capital of the Colombian Amazon. To this end, it explains what the recognition and economic valuation of natural capital is; then, the urgency of taking action in this regard is explained; next, forest funds are described; then, the role of international cooperation in financing conservation is presented; and it ends with some recommendations to strengthen the current financial mechanisms.
