This definition varies according to the person intervening in the territory. For example, for a farmer, the p\u00e1ramo is the territory in which he\/she carries out all his\/her productive and reproductive activities, and the political, social, cultural and environmental dimensions affect the dynamics of the ecosystem.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row gap=&#8221;35&#8243;][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In Colombia, more than 60% of the water consumed comes from the p\u00e1ramos. According to the Ministry of the Environment, the p\u00e1ramo is an ecological unit of great importance for the regulation of water flows, since due to its constitution it is capable of retaining large volumes of water in its hydromorphic soils and controlling its flow through the hydrographic basins.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In recent decades, the expansion of potato production and dairy cattle ranching has been mainly responsible for the disappearance of these ecosystems. In 2019, for 2 months, 30% of the city of Ipiales suffered a major water cut due to low rainfall, but also due to the destruction of the p\u00e1ramos and their reduced storage capacity.<\/p>\n<p

For this reason they are often called <strong>&#8220;cloud forests&#8221;<\/strong>, capturing water drop by drop through their leaves and branches and thanks to dozens of species of plants and mosses associated with each tree. In this way, they supply water to the streams and rivers that originate in the moorlands and give rise to new water sources.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Andean forests are the world par excellence of br\u00f3melas and orchids. They are also characterized by an impressive number of birds and amphibians.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>The high Andean forest is characterized as a stratum of trees and shrubs between 3 and 8 meters high<\/strong>.
