In Colombia, orchids are mainly concentrated in the Andean Region. In Cundinamarca, the most densely populated department and the most deforested in the country, it was identified a network of actors involved in ex situ collections management and in conservation of orchids. It was performed a preliminary list of taxa of Orchidaceae family located in an altitudinal range of 1800 to 3900 meters in Cundinamarca, and registered in the most important herbariums of the department, as a tool to capture quantitative information. The representativeness of the Orchidaceae family is determined by genera of the most striking orchids with potential for commercialization, including Cyrtochilum, Epidendrum, Masdevallia, Odontoglossum and Pleurothallis. The 60% of the species of andean forest and paramo in Cundinamarca are represented in private collections, and 20% in public ones in the Botanical Garden of Bogota Jose Celestino Mutis. According to the research, it should meet the need to increase the representativeness of the groups Orchidaceae department, out of preference for ornamentals and extend database of threatened species in cultivation to benefit seed production and ex situ conservation programs.
