Making peace with nature
How conservation can be used for peacebuilding.
Many of the world鈥檚 most violent conflicts happen in the midst of some of its most valuable natural wildernesses. But protecting these areas鈥� 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鈥檚 civil war in 2016.
