Colombia is a country with high biodiversity, constituting itself as a megadiverse country, paradoxically, it is also a country with high rates of violence where communities and biological diversity were trapped in the middle of the conflict. Currently, the so-called post-conflict zones allow local communities and researchers to access previously inaccessible territories, there it is possible to open up proposals where different actors enable conservation actions from community commitments, in this particular case against orchid species. The research is qualitative from the IAP framework. Methodologically, a community of young environmental guides from the municipality of Murillo Tolima, who require training elements for their educational and conservation work, is listened to. A participatory training process is developed for the study and knowledge of orchid species in the area. The result is the experience of participatory community knowledge and the generation of educational material for its environmental guidance work as an alternative to the post-conflict situation
