Abstract: The challenges posed by climate change to rural education in the face of negative impacts in the biodiversity and water basins that feed the Pamplonita river, the main tributary of the aqueduct of the Cúcuta metropolitan area, requires the participation of all rural social actors. The study carried out between 2019 and 2020 required the following actions: a) A reconstruction of local rural knowledge related to the interaction with the environment. b) Investigate the imaginary of the peasants around the river and water as sources of life and biodiversity. c) Systematize the cultural practices of protection and care of the community's water sources. d) Resignify, from the perspective of local actors, a pedagogy for the regeneration of water basins and biodiversity in the tributaries of the Pamplonita River. The population was taken to be the inhabitants of around six (6) tributaries that feed the Pamplonita River in the Municipality of Bochalema. The research work was approached from the hermeneutics of the spaces by selecting twenty-five (25) inhabitants, who were subjected to an in-depth interview and visited their rural properties to characterize the water resources and biodiversity in situ. The results of the research will make it possible to obtain new knowledge, useful for the design of educational strategies that help to conserve biodiversity and water sources in the face of the effects of climate change.
