BOGOTA (Reuters) -Deforestation in Colombia fell 33% year-on-year in the first quarter of 2025 to 27,052 hectares due to agreements with communities and a greater presence of the state and the Armed Forces, the environment ministry said on Thursday.
Colombia is one of the most biodiverse countries in the world and is home to a myriad of plant and animal species, though it loses swathes of tree cover every year to deforestation.
