Hammen, Maria Clara van der

El presente libro tiene como objetivo mostrar experiencias obtenidas en Colombia, Ecuador y Perú fruto de actividades dirigidas hacia la adaptación al cambio climático y la conservación de los páramos; actividades que, a su vez, han sido dirigidas principalmente hacia mujeres y con un enfoque de género.

Colombia’s policy on its indigenous people includes recognizing their rights relating to political and administrative autonomy, land tenure, education and health. This progressive policy has been implemented through the establishment of indigenous reserves called resuguaros, which recognizes the role of traditional indigenous management mechanisms for the conservation of the environment.
