Productive forest landscapes (ProBosques II) in Colombia With its high biological diversity, Colombia is regarded as one of the 17 ‘megadiverse countries’ – those that hold the greatest number of species on earth. Forests cover over 60 million hectares of Colombia. Because of the armed conflict, many forests were inaccessible for years. They have been accessible again since the 2016 peace agreement and the withdrawal of armed groups, but that exposes them to uncontrolled deforestation. Forests in the Amazon regions of Meta, Caquetá and Guaviare are being sustainably managed. Forest-based value chains have been expanded and interministerial policy provisions are being implemented. |
