Projet du parc linéaire de l’humedal Juan Amarillo, 2000-2018, Bogota, Colombie by Eduardo Samper Martinez

“…These ecological challenges became urban and technical challenges during the 20th century with the channelling and containment of the many rivers (rios) which course through the savannah, causing the loss of the area’s function as a filter and buffer zone for the rainwater and the rios that flow down from the mountains and the paramos. As a result of the intense urban pressure of the last twenty years, these wetlands are in very poor condition and have become even more vulnerable. …”
