RESUMEN
The objective of this plan is to implement an ornamental horticulture project for commercial purposes and ecotourism in the Colombian Amazon basin, with the participation and direct benefit of the Ticuna indigenous community. Flowering plants cataloged as CR, EN and VU will be selected for cultivation and sustainability measures will be implemented to guarantee their conservation. It is expected to achieve an annual production of 25,000 units of plants and generate an economic income of USD 250,000 for the indigenous community.
We will implement training and education programs for the Ticuna indigenous community on ornamental horticulture, sustainable cultivation techniques and biodiversity conservation. We will also establish alliances with local educational institutions to develop environmental education and sustainable tourism programs. It is expected to train a minimum of 40 indigenous leaders in these areas.
An ornamental plant nursery will be established with the capacity to produce 10,000 units per year, using sustainable cultivation techniques and respecting the natural cycles of plants. Species with flowers cataloged as CR, EN and VU will be selected for their conservation and promotion. In addition, experimental gardens will be established for didactic and exhibition purposes.
Sustainable cultivation practices will be implemented, such as the use of organic fertilizers and the reuse of wastewater. The conservation of biodiversity and the protection of natural resources will also be promoted through the implementation of waste management policies and the protection of surrounding natural areas.
A communication strategy will be developed for the promotion of the project and the tourist activities related to the botanical garden. Digital marketing tools will be used and alliances will be established with tourism companies to promote the project and generate additional income for the Ticuna indigenous community.
In conclusion, this ornamental horticulture plan for commercial purposes and ecotourism in the Colombian Amazon basin, focused on the Ticuna indigenous community and with flowering plants cataloged as CR, EN and VU, seeks to generate a positive impact on the conservation of biodiversity, economic development and environmental education of the community.
