Abstract: : In this study, a comprehensive assessment of the ecosystem services provided by the urban wetlands of Valledupar, Cesar, was conducted through the implementation of two surveys (pilot and final) administered to 385 residents, with the aim of determining the willingness to pay (WTP) for their conservation. Key findings include an estimated WTP of $65,077.53 per inhabitant, reflecting a high valuation of the environmental impact in relation to the community's social component and the relevance of these ecosystems. The results demonstrate a significant commitment from the population towards environmental protection, with 70% of respondents recognizing the benefits of wetlands and 67% aware of their crucial role in climate regulation. The main conclusion underscores the urgency of implementing a comprehensive environmental management plan focused on improving hydrological conditions and conserving biodiversity, highlighting the importance of wetlands not only for ecological balance but also for the preservation of the region's cultural and historical heritage.
