How conservation can be used for peacebuilding

How conservation can be used for peacebuilding.

Many of the world’s most violent conflicts happen in the midst of some of its most valuable natural wildernesses.  But protecting these areas’ biodiversity cannot happen until the fighting stops. 

We look at how nature itself can be used to help build that peace, with a project in Colombia training former guerrilla fighters to create their own ecotourism initiatives. 

They are protecting nature while integrating the former fighters back into society, following the end of Colombia’s civil war in 2016.
