Abstract

Cerro Páramo de Miraflores Regional Natural Park is a protected area in the department of Huila, established as astrategic ecosystem for flora and fauna refuge and hydrological reserve. Currently, studies on the biodiversity ofthis area are unknown, ignoring the natural wealth and importance of this ecosystem for the region, especially theforest cover, this makes illegal activities such as logging and expansion of the agricultural frontier, this article focuseson answering the question, Is it possible to generate income for environmental services, to reduce deforestationand forest degradation? The research was developed using a bibliographic analysis in order to obtain informationon the ecosystem services that the protected area can provide and to learn about the environmental conflictspresent. The result was the formulation of a strategy of payments for environmental services, which emergesas an alternative to reduce socio-environmental problems and ensure the supply of resources through directcontributions, oriented to owners and/or users located within the park, promoting efficient and environmentallyfriendly economic development. The steps and actions necessary for the implementation of the strategy wereaddressed, supported by the Colombian regulatory framework. It was concluded that it is necessary to provideassistance to communities in the formulation of proposals that minimize bad practices that affect ecosystems andstrengthen global warming; it is also necessary to analyze the results of projects being developed in the area toknow the real impact on the environment.
