This study seeks to analyze the socio-spatial production forms of two wetlands in the department of Valle del Cauca between the mid-twentieth and early-twenty first century. Such social-spatial production forms portray the dialectic between the capitalist social agents - promoters of the sugar cane agro-business - and local communities that resist the pressure exerted both by these agents and by the State and its neoliberal policies. To this end, Henri Lefebvre's theory of social production of space is used to interpret the particular way in which capitalism produced space. This research integrates qualitative and quantitative methods to understand how space has been produced over 50 years around the wetlands under study. The results offer useful and practical knowledge for the local communities to face the challenges related to environmental management, processes of resistance, and the conservation of wetlands in the department of Valle del Cauca
