Desarrollo de un programa para la conservación y mejoramiento del arbolado en el parque metropolitano tunal, localidad Tunjuelito.

Abstract

The objective of this internship is to develop a proposal to improve the environmental quality of the Parque Metropolitano Tunal belonging to the Municipality of Tunjuelito, through a program for the conservation and improvement of the plant coverage, since it is of great importance to solve the current deficiency in the care of the natural attributes, In many cases, the visitor carries out recreational activities in inappropriate places in the park, damaging parts of the tree such as the branches and the shaft. This inappropriate use is also due to a lack of citizen culture and environmental awareness, and most visitors do not have detailed information regarding the care and importance of the trees. This research is carried out using a qualitative-descriptive procedure in order to determine negative factors in the park's vegetative coverage. Research instruments are used such as a diagnostic card to identify environmental and territorial aspects, a field diary that is a fundamental tool for collecting information on tree species, and a third instrument, photographic evidence to demonstrate the different conditions of the trees in Tunal Metropolitan Park. It is important to emphasize that the present project applies the diverse knowledge acquired in the course of the environmental engineering career
