Colombia to Resume Military Operations in Chiribiquete as 'Total Peace' Fails

Colombia's new government will resume military operations in Chiribiquete National Park after two months of 2026 saw deforestation exceed all of 2025, with uncontrolled road-building and unimplemented 'Total Peace' agreements. This marks a reversal of the previous policy of negotiated peace with armed groups, signaling a shift toward security-first environmental protection.
