Popis: The purpose of this work was to establish a baseline (referential) in the Santa Bárbara Experimental Unit from a geological and environmental point of view. The research was descriptive, not experimental, with a field phase. The methodology used consisted of bibliographic and cartographic review, interviews, direct observation in the field, collection and analysis of samples, consultation with specialists, design and updating of plans; and, information processing. As a result, the physical and biotic characterization of the area was obtained. It is concluded that the area has been intervened without taking into account its environmental or geological characteristics, which exerts a critical environmental impact on biodiversity and the natural resources of the area. Three strategies and nine concrete actions are proposed to improve the situation of the study area.
