哥伦比亚的安第斯-亚马逊山麓是该国最紧迫的森林砍伐热点之一。然而，人们还不太了解根本的毁林驱动因素之间的关系和依赖关系。为了在冲突后时期对当地情况进行适当的领土重组，需要对地方一级的现状进行有针对性的分析。本研究调查了直接和间接的毁林驱动因素，这些因素之间的关系以及冲突后减少毁林的潜在措施。该分析使用全球森林观察项目的空间数据作为起点，与25个地方和区域参与的利益攸关方进行半结构化访谈，并与关于该区域社会、政治和经济状况的现有文献进行三角分析。结果表明，毁林不仅是由不受控制的土地殖民化造成的，而且还与武装冲突有关，特别是铲除非法作物和社区流离失所造成的移民潮。受访者强调，武装团体的作用模糊不清，国家有责任通过为石油工业修建道路、扶持采掘业和养牛业来鼓励毁林。该研究表明，利益攸关方对政府与哥伦比亚革命武装力量之间的和平协议可能产生的影响存在高度不确定性。受访者强调，善政和国家主权在努力建立其他有利可图的产业、实施环境补偿计划和增加对环境教育的投资方面发挥着至关重要的作用。
Colombia's Andean-Amazonian foothills are among the most pressing deforestation hotspots in the country. Yet, the relationships and dependencies of underlying deforestation drivers are not well understood. For an adequate territorial reorganization in the post-conflict era that is sensitive to local context, a targeted analysis of the present situation at the local level is required. This study investigates direct and indirect deforestation drivers, relationships among these and potential measures to lower deforestation post-conflict. The analysis uses spatial data of the Global Forest Watch project as a starting point for semi-structured interviews with 25 locally and regionally engaged stakeholders, triangulated with existing literature on the social, political and economic situation in the region. The results suggest that deforestation is not only caused by uncontrolled land colonization, but also related to the armed conflict, specifically the eradication of illicit crops and waves of migration due to the displacement of communities. Interviewees stressed the ambiguous role of armed groups and the responsibility of the state in incentivizing deforestation through building roads for the oil industry, fostering extractive industries and cattle ranching. The study reveals a high level of uncertainty among stakeholders regarding the possible effects of the peace agreement between the government and the FARC. Interviewees emphasized the crucial role of good governance and state sovereignty when working towards the establishment of alternative profitable industries, the implementation of environmental compensation schemes and an increased investment into environmental education.
