哥伦比亚的帕拉莫山脉被认为是对人类生活具有非常重要作用的自然区域。帕拉莫在山区和低地地区提供了从植被到土壤可持续性的多种生态系统服务。然而，帕拉莫斯的可持续性受到包括农业和畜牧业在内的几种人类活动的损害。在这项工作中采用了系统思维方法，以提高对影响帕拉莫斯农业生态系统可持续性和恢复力的因素的系统理解。跨学科的文献证据进行了总结和概念性分析，以开发帕拉莫系统结构的因果循环图，允许描述涉及（参与/连接）帕拉莫生态系统的主要反馈回路，并推动其可持续性。从因果关系图分析中，很少有人能看出帕拉莫斯的人类存在。系统分析强调，应鼓励帕拉莫斯的人类存在，避免将农业和畜牧业活动作为主要收入来源。特别是，应加强社会互动、关于帕拉莫斯环境和农业做法的相关性的教育，以促进生态系统服务和多种可出租的经济活动。该研究还包括政府在为帕拉莫居民提供生态系统服务和环境教育方面的作用，旨在促进可持续性。帕拉莫可持续管理将对该系统应用特定的杠杆作用，以实现2030年议程的可持续发展目标6（水），8（经济增长，就业和工作），13（气候变化）和15（陆地生态系统的可持续利用）。
Colombian mountain Paramos are considered natural areas with a very important role for human life. Paramos provide, both in mountain and lowland areas, a multitude of ecosystem services which start from vegetation to soil sustainability. The sustainability of Paramos is however impaired by several anthropogenic activities, including agricultural and livestock practices. A system thinking approach was applied in this work to improve the systemic understanding of factors affecting sustainability and resilience of Paramos agro-ecosystems. Interdisciplinary literature evidences were summarized and conceptually analyzed in order to develop causal loop diagrams of Paramo system structures allowing describing the main feedback loops involving (involved in/connecting) the Paramo ecosystem and driving its sustainability. From the causal diagram analysis few insights to maintain the human presence in Paramos arose. The system analysis highlights that human presence in Paramos should be stimulated, avoiding agriculture and livestock activities as the main income source. Particularly, social interactions, education on the Paramos environmental and relevance of agricultural practices to foster ecosystem services and multiple rentable economic activities should be enhanced. The study also includes the role of the government in providing the Paramo inhabitants with payments for ecosystem services and environmental education aimed to boost sustainability. Sustainable Paramo management will apply specific leverages on the system to reach Sustainable Development Goals 6 (water), 8 (economic growth, employment and work), 13 (climate change), and 15 (sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems) of the Agenda 2030.
