Drivers and Effects of Deforestation in Colombia from a Socio-Ecological Systems Perspective
Introduction:
Recognition of the vital relationship between human life and ecological systems.
Importance of forests in providing ecosystem services.
Threat of deforestation to Colombian forests.
Objectives:
Analyzing deforestation drivers and effects in Colombia.
Utilizing a systemic approach within the socio-ecological systems framework.
Key Factors:
Factors contributing to increased deforestation rates in Colombia.
End of armed conflict.
Legal and illegal drivers.
Socio-ecological systems perspective to understand dynamic complexity.
Consideration of low institutional capacity, governance, social context, and regulatory enforcement.
Findings:
Legal and illegal drivers create reinforcing loops, leading to continued deforestation profitability.
Balancing loops that could slow down and stop deforestation.
Factors include governance schemes, self-regulation of local communities, and recognition of forest services.
Recommendations:
Emphasizes the need for local-specific analysis due to heterogeneous conditions.
Visualization of driving forces in causal loop diagrams for a comprehensive understanding of deforestation dynamics.
