"We will define the agricultural border so that we will finally know where we can grow crops and the border where we will take care of the forests," said Juan Manuel Santos, President of Colombia on an official visit to the department of Amazonas.

Luis Gilberto Murillo, Minister of the Environment, accompanied the president and told the press that the government aims to "reduce deforestation to zero by 2030" with similar measures.

"Normally deforestation in any country increases the first two years after a peace agreement and then begins to fall. We believe that this will happen in Colombia," he added.
