Summary

In 2020, the Superior Court of the Judicial District of Ibagué declared Los Nevados National Park as a “Special Subject of Rights for its protection, recovery, and conservation with an integral approach” and designated the President of the Republic as the legal representative of the park’s rights. In order to comply with the sentence, it also designated different public entities at all levels of government to generate a “Joint Plan for the Recovery, Management, Maintenance, and Conversation of Los Nevados National Natural Park.” Deglaciation, the threat of illegal mining, and the loss of flora and fauna are the arguments used by the court to grant its decision.
