Abstract
The present study aims to implement environmental actions for the
conservation of watersheds that sensitize the inhabitants of the sector "Las Dos
Bocas" adjacent to the upper middle basin of the river La Acequia, belonging
to the parish Ciudad Bolivia, Pedraza municipality, state Barinas, in the
conservation of its flow as an essential water resource for the pedraceños,
avoiding disturbances of anthropogenic origin, such as deforestation and
burning of vegetation in riparian areas. This research responds to a nature
based on a qualitative paradigm, under a participatory action research design
and complements its methodological approach with the use of observation
techniques and unstructured interview. As conclusions it was obtained that it
deserves environmental actions that really provide the knowledge, awareness
and commitment of the community to generate changes in attitude and
behaviors, depending on the valuation of the environment as an intervening
element to achieve quality of life; So they need to address three aspects or
phases: Awareness raising, training and exchange of experiences through
motivation days, orientation workshops, cleaning days, recycling practices,
planting, among others.
