According to the Colombian Institute of Hydrology, Meteorology, and Environmental Studies (IDEAM), the main areas affected by deforestation in Colombia in 2024 were the Forest Development Nuclei (NDFyB) of Cuemaní in Caquetá, and the National Parks of Tinigua and La Macarena in Meta. These three regions collectively lost 23,167 hectares of forest, equivalent to 1.4 times the size of Barranquilla. The increase in deforestation was most significant in El Camuya (Caquetá), where deforestation rose by 407% compared to 2023, and in the Tinigua and La Macarena national parks, which saw increases of 390% and 334%, respectively. The causes include conversion of land into pasture for cattle ranching, expansion of livestock, illegal road construction, and pressure from armed groups such as dissidents of 'Calarcá,' who encourage communities to deforest and settle new lands. However, none of these three nuclei experienced deforestation exceeding 4% of their stable forest area. Some areas showed decreases in deforestation, including Los Puertos (Guaviare), Paraíso Amazónico (Caquetá), and Orotuyo (Caquetá). In Paraíso Amazónico, the first peasant forest concession in the country was established

The next Colombian Environment Minister, Fabio Arjona, indicated during a press conference that his ministry would not oppose hydraulic fracturing (fracking), but would focus on ensuring it does not cause irreversible environmental damage. He emphasized that fracking would be restricted to specific areas, avoiding protected zones and páramos. Arjona aligned with some experts who argue that contamination risks are low if strict safety standards are followed. However, other environmental leaders remain opposed due to potential risks. The minister also addressed deforestation rates, noting they were 'overwhelmed,' though recent data showed a decline in deforestation compared to previous years. Regarding illegal mining, Arjona stated that 90% of exported gold comes from illegal operations, citing a 2024 report by the Procuraduría. To strengthen environmental financing, Arjona proposed replacing external debt with environmental commitments, an idea previously floated by President Petro. This funding would support the Fondo para la Vida, which has seen budget reductions in recent years.
