“Between Earth and Water: Mataredonda” explores Colombia’s páramo ecosystem and its essential role in water capture, biodiversity, and climate resilience. Through field observations and scientific research, the video explains how frailejones, mosses, orchids, puyas, and pollinators function within high-mountain habitats, and why páramos are often called water factories. It also highlights ecological restoration, conservation planning, climate change, and the cultural significance of sacred lagoons in Muisca tradition. The documentary connects environmental science, biology, ecology, botany, and sustainability, making it highly relevant to life science and Earth science curricula focused on ecosystems, human impact on the environment, and resource conservation.
