Zonas de Reserva Campesina y territorialidades vivas en el Sumapaz

This article analyzes the role of Campesino Land Reserves (ZRC) in shaping living territorialities and campesino struggles in the Sumapaz region of Colombia. Drawing on political ecology and decolonial theory, it examines the ZRC as a legal mechanism, a space of identity, and a site where the páramo is configured as a living territory. Based on fieldwork in San Juan, Betania, and Nazareth, the study shows how campesino communities reconfigure notions of nature, justice, and development through a biocentric vision, consolidating collective identities, resistance, and alternative horizons against state and extractive logics
