Colombia
Colombia has the third largest forest area in South America. After a dramatic spike in deforestation following the end of the conflict between the government and FARC, deforestation is once again in decline due to ambitious efforts by the government and its partners. In 2019 Colombia, Germany, the UK and Norway extended their climate and forest partnership until 2025.
