Some [relatively] good news out of S America and the Amazon, lately. Relatively because good news still stands in the dark shadows of devastating bad news.
"Deforestation in Colombia fell to historic low in 2023: How did they achieve the drop?"
by Steven Grattan for Euro News.
Quotes:
"President Gustavo Petro is coming good on his election promise to cut tree felling."
"Deforestation in Colombia fell by 36% in a year, marking a new record low.
It's especially good news the world's largest rainforest, the Amazon, one-third of which is in Colombia. The Amazon is a crucial carbon sink meaning it sucks up carbon emissions that would otherwise contribute to global warming.
The drop happened between 2022 and 2023 and comes off the back of years of campaigning by Indigenous activists who depend on the Amazon for their homes and livelihood."
"How did Colombia achieve record low deforestation?
When elected in 2022, President Gustavo Petro vowed to halt record high rates of deforestation in the Amazon by limiting agribusiness expansion into the forest and creating reserves where Indigenous communities and others are allowed to harvest rubber, acai and other non-timber forest products."
"Advancing peace talks between the government and guerrilla groups in the area, along with financial incentives for farmers in the Amazon to help with conservation, drove the drop. It came after deforestation had fallen about 29% in 2022."
"What does Colombia need to do to keep deforestation down?
But next year's figures don't look as promising. A significant rise in deforestation has already been recorded due to the effects of dry weather caused by El Niño, Muhamad said, a weather phenomenon that warms the central Pacific.
Mass cattle ranching, drug crops and illegal mining and logging continue to drive deforestation in the Andean nation, Muhamad said."
