Apoyo al análisis de la deforestación tras la firma de los acuerdos de paz en la amazonia baja del departamento del Putumayo, utilizando la metodología MapBiomas

Abstract

Given the multiple problems that arise from the presence of the FARC in the Colombian territory, especially in the department of Putumayo, the development of this document seeks to identify whether there is any relationship between their presence and deforestation in the region, through multitemporal spatial analysis from 1985 to 2020 (general change of coverage), Similarly, the temporality is evaluated from 2013 to 2016 (pre-agreement) and from 2016 to 2020 (post-agreement), taking as a break point the date of the signing of the peace agreements in Colombia, in order to compare the trends of deforestation behavior in the area. In this sense, data processed through the MapBiomas methodology are taken, from which, it can be concluded that in the areas where there was FARC presence (documented) there is a correlation of this variable and the change in coverage, where the places with presence have a significant decrease in forest cover, compared to the areas where there was no record of it.
