Colombia's government is looking to cut deforestation to 140,000 hectares (345,947 acres) a year by 2026, despite international agreements eyeing greater reductions, due to an uptick in the clearing of trees towards the end of the previous government's term last year, the environment ministry said.
The government's development plan's deforestation-reduction target is predicated on the government inheriting a baseline of 174,103 hectares of forest torn down in 2021, while deforestation in the first half of 2022 was 15% higher than in the year-earlier period, the environment ministry told Reuters in a statement late Monday.
The government also looks to restore 1.7 million hectares of degraded or damaged forest, three times greater than achieved by the previous government, the environment ministry said.
