Popis:	The paramo ecosystems, located in regions in the high mountains, have an intensive degradation in the recent years, as a result of a partial or total loss of vegetation cover, generating alterations in the water regulation. This is a consequence of processes like climate change, agriculture, livestock and mining. The human being has tried to prevent the total degradation of these ecosystems by implementing environmental policies about sustainable use of natural resources; however, the positive impact of their implementation has not been obtained because of a lack of knowledge and unconsciousness in the communities that live in these regions. This issue promotes the following question: Is it feasible to have a sustainable use of this fragile ecosystems or to have only a conservation management?
