Concepto técnico para el registro del predio CANAAN como Reserva Natural de la Sociedad Civil, Dagua, Valle del Cauca

The document was prepared in February 2014. The property, known as CANAAN, is located in the Corregimiento El Salado, Municipality of Dagua, and has a complex history of ownership. The property was initially purchased by Inocencio Victoria Guevara in 1971, followed by a series of transactions involving various individuals and institutions, including the Instituto Colombiano de la Reforma Agraria (INCORA) and the Caja de Crédito Agrario Industrial y Minero. The property has undergone several changes in ownership, with the current owners being Jairo Botero Gutiérrez and Jorge Isaac Domínguez Escobar. The property has been subject to various encumbrances, including a gravamen of valorization caused by the construction of a road, which was later canceled. The property is currently free of encumbrances and is owned by the aforementioned individuals. The concept for the registration of the property as a Natural Reserve of Civil Society aims to conserve the biodiversity of the area, which is characterized by a unique ecosystem known as the Bosque Medio Seco en Montaña Fluvio-Gravitacional (BOMSEMH). The property is located in an area of high conservation value, and its registration as a Natural Reserve of Civil Society would help to protect the ecosystem and promote sustainable land use practices. The concept includes a detailed description of the property, including its location, boundaries, and ecosystem characteristics. It also outlines the objectives of conservation, which include the protection of biodiversity, the promotion of sustainable land use practices, and the provision of ecosystem services. The concept also includes a proposed zoning plan, which divides the property into three zones: a conservation zone, an agrosystem zone, and a zone of intensive use. The registration of the property as a Natural Reserve of Civil Society would be a significant step towards conserving the biodiversity of the area and promoting sustainable land use practices. It would also provide a model for other communities to follow in their efforts to conserve and protect their natural resources.
