This book, prepared by the Faculty of Administration of the Universidad de los Andes in response to the initiative of the Corporacion Autonoma Regional de la Orinoquia (Corporinoquia), has the purpose of fostering and stimulating a social dialogue about the present and future of the Colombian Orinoquia, a region that is going through an unprecedented process of economic, social and ecological transformation. The degree of uncertainty about the result of this transformation process is very large, as a consequence of insufficient information and knowledge about the functioning of their ecological and social systems in global change scenarios, due to institutional weakness and the lack of a social agreement on what the future of the region should be. The purpose of this document is, therefore, to initiate a process of reflection and action that guides the work of Corporinoquia and of the various agents that, guided today by their own visions, intervene in the region, so that, with the cooperation of all , the accelerated process of transformation leads towards the consolidation of sustainable and equitable forms of regional development.
