    Colombia’s Conservation Challenge: Biodiversity Gains and Rising Threats

    Colombia’s Conservation Challenge

    Colombia’s Unique Wildlife Flourishes After Peace Deal

    Following Colombia’s 2016 peace deal with FARC rebels, scientists have ventured into previously inaccessible highlands and jungles, discovering new flora and fauna. For five decades, Colombia’s intense conflict had shielded many areas from human activity, inadvertently creating safe havens for wildlife. Now, researchers are uncovering an impressive range of biodiversity—from dazzling orchids to tiger-striped frogs—highlighting the richness of Colombia’s ecosystems that remained largely untouched during the conflict.

    Colombia’s Conservation Challenge

    Since the peace accord, Colombia has witnessed a surge in nature research, particularly in botany. The number of newly discovered plant species has tripled annually, as scientists can safely explore regions that were previously conflict zones. While the end of the FARC conflict has unlocked Colombia’s natural wealth, it has also increased Colombia’s conservation challenge brought new threats to these once-protected ecosystems. With armed groups now exploiting these areas for logging, mining, and agriculture, conservation efforts face significant challenges.

    This intensified deforestation threatens both biodiversity and researchers who work on the front lines. Peace has opened doors for study and discovery, yet it has also introduced risks that hamper conservation.

    Colombia: World’s Most Dangerous Country for Environmental Defenders

    Colombia has emerged as the world’s deadliest country for environmental activists. According to Global Witness, 79 environmental defenders were killed in the country last year alone—a record high for any country in a single year. These fatalities reflect the risks faced by those trying to protect Colombia’s unique landscapes from illegal activity. For researchers and conservationists, the progress made in Colombia’s biodiversity stands in sharp contrast to the heightened dangers they face in safeguarding it.
