Article Synopsis
- Armed conflict and its resolution significantly impact natural resources, particularly in tropical forests, though the extent of this impact is debated.
- A study in Colombia revealed a sixfold rise in fires and a 52% increase in deforestation likelihood in protected areas after guerrilla fighters were demobilized.
- To promote peace and protect these ecosystems, strategies are needed, including real-time forest monitoring, incentivizing ecosystem services, integrating former fighters into conservation efforts, and creating a market for deforestation permits.
