Propuesta de Lineamientos para el Monitoreo Comunitario Participativo En Colombia y su Articulación con el Sistema Nacional de Monitoreo de Bosques

This document presents the proposal for guidelines for Participatory Community Monitoring in Colombia, which includes elements for the integration of information registered at the local level with the National Forest Monitoring System led by the IDEAM (SMByC). In order to formulate these guidelines, the collective construction with communities that inhabit and own most of the forests in the country, Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs), and international cooperation was key. As a result, there is a proposal for guidelines for the CCM in Colombia and its articulation with the National Forest Monitoring System, which incorporates community and institutional visions, with the aim of generating incidental, sustainable monitoring processes that can be articulate with each other and with the SMByC, to obtain valuable information, which allows to know the dynamics of use and transformation of forests and associated natural resources, and in turn, allows to determine the most suitable strategies for their management and conservation.
