introduction

En este breve documental les mostraremos los aspectos más importantes de la Degradación
medio ambiental de Colombia desde la colonización de los españoles hasta el día hoy.

Cuando se habla de degradación medio ambiental nos referimos a todo acto de destrucción o
daño que pueda afectar la diversidad biológica de un ecosistema.

Origen de la problemática ambiental en Colombi

1. in the spanish conquest the people used to exploit minerals to obtain gold affecting the
ecocystem
2. In the past people used to destroy nature because they did not knew the consequences
this would have on the environment

3. when the industrial revolution happened, people used to build many machines and
industries based on fossil energy
 4. With the independence of Colombia, people were left with the idea of exploiting minerals
and they used to exploit gold and coal in an inappropriate way

Jose

5. in Colombia and the world, environmental problems are generated by industrial waste
6. Growth and modernization increased emissions and waste
7. With this project, thousands of trees were cut down to provide the necessary soil for the
development of palm plantations and agricultural production.
8. President Virgilio Barco invested 4.5 billion dollars in the pacific plan

2000-2010

 10 tons of fish died due to lack of oxygen due to contamination in the big swamp of Santa
Marta
 A terrorist attack on the Caño Limoncoveñas pipeline generated catastrophic damage to the
ecosystem

Diego

 technological development used to need large amounts of materials which produced

more environmental exploitation
 Before, in Colombia it used to have a tropical neutral climate, now due to environmental
pollution, very high temperatures are present

Opiniones todos cada quien lee la suya

 From my point of view, the environmental problem in Colombia is an example of what is

happening worldwide, where priority is given to economic growth while environmental
conservation is in the background

 In my personal opinión i think Colombia need more sopurt by goveberment because the
people that destroy the environment around their is because they do not recources or
the help that they need by the goverbent to live so they have to that for sorvive

 Personally, my opinion is that we should have more awareness from home as the
management of waste and the conservation of the environment

 My opinion about the environment is that despite the fact that every day we see the
reasons why it is so important to protect the environment and where we understand
 that it is a very serious issue that should be of concern to everyone more and more.
Taking care of the environment is not a whim, it is a necessity so as not to destroy the
planet as we have been doing in recent years. The environment is important, because
from it we obtain water, food, fuel and raw

Sugerencias grace

1. We should separate garbage and encourage recycling.

2. We should use products that can be reused
3. We should take our own bags to the supermarket
4. We should plant trees as they are the source of oxygen
5. We should use ecological products since they are friendly to the environment because
fertilizers or other polluting products are not used in their production.

Prediciones aleja

1. If we do not improve our awareness regarding caring for the environment, we will
have serious problems
2. Twenty years ago sustainable development was placed on the global agenda, but
our efforts were not up to the challenge, if we had not behaved better we would not
be burning our future. Today we have no more time
3. The environment will collapse if we don't take care of our planet
4. Technological development had a cost for natural resources which is evident today
with climatic effects and naturaldisasters if we do not control this development it will
affect us even more
5. This year in Colombia has become the hottest year in history, if we do not pay
attention it is a call to take urgent and coordinated actions that help combat climate
change

Reflexión grace

 We must be more aware of the care our planet needs in order to have a future in better
conditions. If, on the contrary, we do not take care of the environment, the planet will die
and human beings will also die with it. The world is in our hands, let's take care of it!
