00:00In the last few weeks, the forest fires have commotioned the country, and in particular
00:04Bogotá.
00:04The images of the Oriental Cerros Quemándose were very impactful.
00:08But beyond that the flames are related to the phenomenon of the animal and the human activity,
00:12there is also an element that you have to take into account.
00:15The species invasoras and exotic species.
00:17Why?
00:17Here we explain.
00:20The problem of the invasoras species is not new in Bogotá, nor in the Sabana Cundiboyacense.
00:25They are even more ancient than the history of the Colombian Republic.
00:28At the beginning of 1600, the Sabana and the Oriental Cerros were a center of forestation.
00:33In this area, there were very few trees, so the district authorities took the task of restauration.
00:38But it seems that they didn't take the best decisions.
00:41So, they also conseed them to sow pino and eucalyptus, species not native and that are adapted to
00:45the fire.
00:46The eucalyptus, for example, have characteristics that make them highly inflamed.
00:49Their hoax are rich in oil and their corteza, which is easily removed, creates a cap of
00:54combustion in the soil.
00:55A this, they added that the cerros are a vulnerable ecosystem.
00:58A group of investigators very texas focused on the impact of the forest fires in the
01:02carga of vegetable vegetation, especially in the eucalyptus of eucalyptus comuns in the
01:06cerros orientals of Bogotá.
01:07They found that here are high charges of combustible, but precisely in the areas of the
01:11forest, already affected by the incendios, where there is a significant increase in the
01:16accumulation of combustible leñoso and hoxaraska.
01:18This relates to the regeneration of the forest and the presence of young trees of eucalyptus.
01:22All this makes it a perfect torment for the flames in the cerros to extend easily.
01:28In the current incendios, they would be inciting species from other countries, such as
01:32pasts of Africa, Australia, and flores of Italy, which complican the tension of this
01:36emergency.
01:37These species, in addition to feeding the fire, which are thousands of hectares, are creating
01:41cycles of fire more frequent and frequent.
01:43What can they do with these invasors?
