intervention in the environment. In the same way, it is important to rescue the vitality of the
wetlands in the society, is for this reason the need to articulate the profession of social work
with the environment and its preservation, to promote the civil participation of the inhabitants
of the Suba locality with the wetland La Conejera, by means of the creation of mechanisms
that guarantee the sustainable development, establishing the relation between the human and
the ecosystem that corresponds to the wetland, for this is necessary to have clarity of the
functions that we recover as social workers in front to these processes of environmental
education.

General
Analyze the intervention of social work with the community of Suba for the wetland
protection.
Specifics
-

Identify the problematic that guide the intervention of social work in the protection of
wetlands in Suba in Bogot.

Describe the methodological proposals to carry out the intervention from social work in
protecting wetlands.

THEORICAL FRAMEWORK
According to the ONU (2000) the environment is the set of all living things around us. From this
we get water, food, fuel and raw materials used to manufacture the things we use daily.
Besides, in the environment the interaction between human beings and nature, where the society
is dependent of ecosystems which must be preserved to ensure sustainable development
Speaking of environment is necessary to consider sustainable development, for its definition are
suitable for various different organizations or changed with the passage of time concepts, the
Comisin Brundtland says that the sustainable development is that than can meet their needs
present generations without compromising the right of future generations to meet their own
needs. (Ministerio de Ambiente 2006, Pg. 23)
In Colombia the sustainable development defined as leading to economic growth, raising the
quality of life and social welfare without depleting the basis of renewable natural resources on
which it is based, without damaging the environment or the right of future generations to use it to
satisfy their own needs. (Ley 99 de 1993, artculo 3)
Understanding as wetland the "areas of marsh, fen, peatland or water surfaces, whether natural or
artificial, permanent or temporary, static or flowing, fresh or salt, including areas of water marina
whose depth at low tide does not exceed six meters. (Ramsar, 2011)
Currently wetlands of Bogot are at high risk of disappearing because most of the people living
in the city are not aware of everything they cause to the environment when they throw trash and
build around these wetlands
Consistent with this even the majority of people living in Bogota do not know the wetlands
functions and unaware that they absorb water in wet weather so there is no flooding, they also
reduce the rivers and prevent water pollution.
Paraphrasing to Jojoa and Lasso (2012) the social worker must assume a political position from
actions that will make possible permanent reflection processes within the context and begin to
objectify alternatives.

From professional actions to the organization and mobilization of the population exercised the
function of a political educator (Iamamoto, 2003. Pg. 99)
ANALYSIS
The environment education from social work is fundamental for guarantee the sustainable
development, by means the tools to the community for generate their involvement with the
process for to improve the context and warn possible environment problems.
CONCLUSION AND PROPOSAL
-

Perform community work with people living around wetlands to generate solutions,
alternatives and environmental conscience to ensure the welfare of communities and the
safety and protection of wetlands.

Propose tools for citizen participation and awareness of people about the care and
conservation of the environment, in order to minimize negative impacts arising from
pollution, industrialization, etc., and thus achieve the maintenance and conservation of the
environment in general.

Initiate processes of protection, conservation and recovery from the participation of


communities, and with the support of entities from the creation of new public policies that
are effective and truly ensure these three aspects.
