Explotación minera y conflictividad socioambiental en el páramo Cruz Verde-Sumapaz, Colombia, 2011-2021.

This article includes and analyzes the events that occurred during the period 2011-2021 in relation to the socioenvironmental problems associated with mining in the Complejo Cruz Verde-Sumapaz Páramo (cpcvs) with the objective of identifying those actors who have a role in the problems, decision, and institutional-normative advances that have an impact on the environmental legal system. This research was carried out with a descriptive qualitative approach based on the methodology for community management of environmental conflicts. It provides a biogeographical characterization of the main socio-environmental elements and a precision of the temporality of the most relevant facts. As a result, three scenarios of debate are defined: ambiguity in the dispositions, normative outdatedness and applicability exceptions, concluding that these factors allowed the exploitation in the páramo, generating a significant conflict in the environmental legal system.
