"The amount of #forest loss fell from 1,235 sq km in 2022 to 792 sq km in 2023 – a 36% decrease... Most of the environmental gains were in the #Amazon #rainforest, where the Colombian government is focusing much of its conservation efforts... Runaway #deforestation has been reined in and reversed under Gustavo Petro’s government, the first leftist administration in Colombia’s history."
