This document addresses two key topics in environmental studies: conservation management and integrated management of biodiversity and ecosystem services (GIBSE). The first is linked to the national policy of protected areas, Conpes 3680 of 2010 and Conpes 4050 of 2021, with their respective scenarios of territorial planning of protected areas of Sinap; its public area management systems, with a range of strategic lines, social actors and management actions, additionally the GIBSE contemplated in the 2012 national policy, in the 2016-2030 biodiversity action plan and transversal to almost all technical and planning instruments at the regional, departmental or local territorial scale. The DCS Alto El Nudo is one of the twenty-two protected areas in Risaralda, which together total 136,000 hectares; there are 17 regional protected areas in the department (CARDER, 2020, p.36). The state of management effectiveness of Alto el Nudo is intermediate; which shows that there is a lack of environmental management actions to achieve a situation of strength; according to the methodology "Management Effectiveness for Protected Areas-EMAP" applied in the last management plan, therefore, this research aimed to contribute from the realization of a characterization of the territory, the ecological valuation; The research also aimed to provide a socio-cultural valuation of biodiversity and ecosystem services from the perspective of social actors, and finally, a proposal of management actions for the protected area from the vision of the GIBSE. It has been possible to identify the perceptions of different community, institutional and academic actors about the ecosystem services of regulation, provision and culture, the intention was to recognize and prioritize them in order to recognize the processes and functions of the ecosystem most valued by the social actors, thus, management actions are proposed which will lead to the conservation and sustainable use of the protected area. The DCS Alto El Nudo protected area needs to improve the efficiency of its social administration and the monitoring, verification, and control of the management actions proposed in the protected area's management plan. Other environmental management actions proposed by the social actors with an interest in the protected area should be recognized and more resources should be allocated to implement the proposed projects or actions. Keywords: Protected area, Biodiversity, Ecosystem services, Social ecological system.This document addresses two key topics in environmental studies: conservation management and integrated management of biodiversity and ecosystem services (GIBSE).
