Between US$61-63 million annually should be invested to prevent further conservation losses in Colombia after the peace agreement (Guerrero-Pineda, C. et al., 2022)
In 44% the rate of deforestation increased after the peace agreement, especially affecting protected areas (Guerrero-Pineda, C. et al., 2022).
38-52% would be the national biodiversity loss in Colombia by 2033 if agricultural expansion is not controlled (Guerrero-Pineda, C. et al., 2022)
