GLA II - IUCN NL - Colombia In Colombia,  the Forests for a Just Future Programme addresses the issue of deforestation -one of the country’s most serious environmental problems- and degradation, and unsustainable  management of forests and wooded landscapes, in a context of climate change, gender inequality and inequity, and threats to the protection of human rights, as well as rights related to territory and local livelihoods.

This project is mainly developed in the Colombian Amazon: in the Northwest Colombian Amazon also known as the deforestation arc, which covers the departments of Caquetá, Guaviare and south of Meta; and also the Northest Colombian Amazon, which covers the departments of Amazonas, Vaupés and Guainía. The project also includes some actions in the Andean region (Santander), and Bogotá, as an advocacy hub to take actions  with the National Government and State entities.
