Armed Conflicts and Their Impact on Biodiversity Preservation in Colombia: A Legal and Ethical Analysis
This article adopts an analytical approach to examine the environmental impacts of illegal activities and unsustainable exploitation of natural resources in Colombia. Through a deep analysis of the relationship between resource exploitation and violence, it demonstrates how armed conflicts and illegal resource extractions have led to habitat destruction and loss of biodiversity. Case studies, such as the devastating effects of armed conflicts on the Amazon rainforest and the use of chemicals, such as glyphosate to combat illegal crops, provide a comprehensive picture of the crisis. The research results reveal that Colombia’s existing laws have the potential to transform the long-standing relationship between human beings and the environment into a more ethical and respectful one. However, to achieve greater effectiveness, the legal framework needs to be strengthened and aligned with contemporary ethical and environmental perspectives. This article also emphasizes that legal reforms may place Colombia as a leader in animal protection and environmental sustainability in Latin America.
