Cultural landscapes on the Colombian-Ecuadorian border: a review of environmental heritage
The purpose of this research is to identify the cross-border cultural landscapes of the Colombian-Ecuadorian Border from the perspective of education and social development, with the aim of structuring, from the voice of the cross-border ethnic communities, the various socio-environmental places that can be prioritized, such as axes of safeguarding and shared government between the peoples of Colombia and Ecuador. The critical need arises as a result of identifying, before this research proposal (thanks to the work of the OZIF UNAD - FLACSO project), a series of socio-environmental ethnic conflicts that border the border line drawn between Colombia and Ecuador since 1906, and in the which, Afro and African ethnic groups are settled Indigenous people, who seek to claim their survival in the territory through social development, despite state circumstances and outside the law, a fact that has directly influenced the fragmentation of their communities. Therefore, this paper seeks to delimit shared Cultural Landscapes that promote education and social development, emphasizing with cross-border communities the projection of governance exercises that allow shielding environmental and cultural scenarios to achieve the interaction and sustainability of joint peoples within the framework of the preservation of the natural resources of these nations.
