Ítem Análisis de la contribución de las empresas mineras con operación en Colombia a la biodiversidad(Universidad EAFIT, 2025) Giraldo Posada, Ana Margarita; Correa Carmona, María Nathalia; Orjuela Hidalgo, Ana María; Ramírez Soto, Juan DavidThe legal mining sector in Colombia has both direct and indirect impacts on the areas where it operates. Mining companies have developed and implemented various programs focused on biodiversity conservation and preservation; however, these initiatives have not been effectively communicated to stakeholders, limiting recognition of their positive environmental impacts and contributions to ecosystems. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the contribution of mining companies operating in Colombia to biodiversity. To achieve this, a review of the sustainability reports of 11 mining companies operating in Colombia, published over a five-year period (2019–2023), was conducted. This review incorporated international biodiversity standards and the TSM Sustainable Mining Standard adapted for Colombia. Based on the findings, a methodological tool was designed and applied to five companies in the sample. It was then presented through interviews with environmental authorities and industry experts to gather their perspectives on its relevance. The results of this study reveal that mining companies in Colombia undertake actions that not only align with the targets of SDG 15 but also contribute to other SDGs. However, despite their positive impact on biodiversity, these efforts are not adequately visible or communicated. Therefore, it is crucial to ensure that biodiversity-related actions are disclosed to all stakeholders through accessible channels, such as management and sustainability reports, so that the sector's efforts and contributions are properly recognized.Ítem Análisis multi-temporal de la erosión en el área protegida Ensenada de Rionegro (Antioquia) con miras a geoconservación(Universidad EAFIT, 2020) Zapata Herrera, Juan Fernando; Marín Cerón, María IsabelÍtem Analyses of the Morphometric Variation within Caiman crocodilus Species Complex in Colombia(Universidad EAFIT, 2022) Angulo-Bedoya, Mónica; Webster, Mark; Benítez, Hugo A.; Balaguera-Reina, Sergio; Correa, Santiago; Roberto, Igor J.; Moncada-Jimenez, Juan F.; Mazzotti, Frank J.; Espinoza-Donoso, Sebastian; Lemic, Darija; Correa Vélez, Santiago Alberto; Pinel Peláez, NicolásÍtem Andariegas: Migrant waters(Universidad EAFIT, 2023) Colorado Chávez, Paula Andrea; Vélez Lotero, Juan Mauricio; Luján Saenz, Juan Carlos; Franco Higuita,Hernán Darío; Cárdenas Franco, Luis Alejandro; Universidad EAFITTransmedia project that promotes the care of water sources, mainly the La Presidente and La Hueso streams.

They are objectives because they can be pillars in the conservation of ecosystems and their biodiversity, can be monitored over time, and account for the fulfillment of the conservation objectives of a protected area. The new conservation figures based on areas and that are constituted from civil society also require the implementation of strategies and conservation plans focused on CV. Our attention is focused on Reserva La Rivera, located in the north of the department of Quindío and directly bordering the Otún Quimbaya Fauna and Flora Sanctuary, which is part of the buffer zone of Los Nevados National Natural Park. It is a private conservation project with 345 hectares distributed between forests in different stages of regeneration and grasslands, and is located in one of the most important biodiversity hotspots in the world, the tropical Andes. For this study, biotic inventories of birds, mammals, reptiles and amphibians were carried out, taking into account historical records, collected specimens and field sampling in Reserva La Rivera; 308 species of birds, 30 of mammals, 13 of reptiles and 9 of amphibians were recorded and the conservation values were prioritized according to five criteria: heterogeneity, area of distribution, vulnerability, function and socioeconomic value. Five species were selected as VOC, represented by three birds, one mammal and one reptile. This diversity reflects the richness of the study area, its importance in the objectives of other protected areas and the connectivity in its buffer zones.Publicación Laboratorio Vivo de la microcuenca La Volcana implementando soluciones basadas en la naturaleza para la regeneración de un paisaje urbano en los Andes colombianos(Universidad EAFIT, 2025) Botero-Orrego, Jorjany Maritza; Flórez Álvarez, Deysi; Mazo Zapata, Edgar; Garizábal-Carmona, Jaime AndrésÍtem Proceso de ASC - ECOPATRIA, PORQUE LA BIODIVERSIDAD TAMBIEN HACE PARTE DE LA SOCIEDAD QUE HABITAMOS(Universidad EAFIT, 2023) Alzate Hincapie, Brian Steven; Bula García, María Alejandra; Palomino Ochoa, Santiago; Osorio Beltrán, Valentina; Castaño García, Wendy; Ortíz Zapata, Matías; Pizarro Bello, Albeiro Alfonso; León Ávila, Natalia; Lopera Velásquez, María Alejandra; Universidad EAFITThis project is an initiative focused on research and knowledge dissemination, specifically with a scientific, political, and environmental emphasis—distinct tones that form a song society needs to hear. Our instrument for telling these stories is the experimental documentary podcast, characterized by the interplay of various sounds, such as the voices of characters accompanied by bioacoustics. We propose to create sound content based on empirical research, microethnography, and community engagement in the five townships of Medellín, featuring narratives that detail and precisely explain the interactions among different actors within a social ecosystem. The goal is to create stories accompanied by unique sounds that can be used to disseminate knowledge across various academic fields within the Colombian context. To achieve this, we will produce a knowledge dissemination podcast, composed of data, sounds, people, stories, research, and multidisciplinary collaboration, aimed at reaching a diverse audience and serving as a repository of scientific information.Ítem The Effectiveness of Listing Under the U.S. Endangered Species Act: An Econometric Analysis Using Matching Methods(Elsevier, 2007) Ferraroa, Paul J.; McIntoshb, Craig; Ospina, Monica.; Department of Economics, Andrew Young School of Policy Studies, Georgia State University; School of International Relations and Pacific Studies, University of California-San Diego, San Diego; Department of Economics, Andrew Young School of Policy Studies, Georgia State University, Escuela de Economía y Finanzas, Departamento de Economía, Universidad EAFIT, Medellín, Colombia.; Escuela de Economía y Finanzas; Economía; Estudios en Economía y EmpresaDiametrically opposed views of the effectiveness of the United States Endangered Species Act (ESA) co-exist more than 30 years after the Act's creation. The evidence marshaled to date for and against the ESA suffers from a problem common in analyses of biodiversity protection measures: the absence of a well-chosen control group. We demonstrate how matching methods can be used to select such a control group and thereby estimate how species listed under the ESA would have fared had they not been listed. Our results show that listing a species under the ESA is, on average, detrimental to species recovery if not combined with substantial government funds. In contrast, listed species with such funding tend to improve. Our analysis offers not only new insights into a controversial debate, but also a methodology to guide conservation scientists in evaluating the effectiveness of society's responses to biodiversity lossÍtem Vote X La Presidenta(Universidad EAFIT, 2023) Cárdenas Franco, Luis Alejandro; Colorado Chávez, Paula Andrea; Ospina Lopera, Mónica Liliana; Serna Salazar, Natalia; Universidad EAFITTransmedia project to make visible the environmental problems around water sources and thus generate collective awareness towards the care and maintenance of biodiversity in the Provenza neighborhood, located in the city of Medellín.Ítem When La Volcana speaks(Universidad EAFIT, 2023) Colorado Chávez, Paula Andrea; Luján Saenz, Juan Carlos; Lopera Velásquez, María Alejandra; Vélez, Juan Mauricio; Franco, Hernán; Serna Salazar, Natalia; Universidad EAFITPodcast that mixes fictional and non-fictional narrative around the La Volcana stream, which crosses Comuna 14 of Medellín from east to west and empties into the Aburrá River.
