Descripció:The extractive dynamics in the Colombian Amazon were partially halted by the dynamics of war present in the country. With the ceasefire, the insufficient state presence, the persistent conditions of social inequality and the continuity of other armed actors, this area is scene of extractive and illegal economies while remaining a source of survival for the peasants communities that have inhabited these lands for decades and have approached a balanced relationship with the ecosystem. Given this context of conflict, the State has decided to criminalize any type of intervention, including activities of the local communities historically settled there. It also has expanded the protected areas, which has been accompanied by the militarization of its protection and relates to the judicialization of those who are considered deforestation actors. Despite this new conflict dynamic, which is no longer armed but social and environmental, peasant communities and people in the process of reincorporation bet on peacebuilding, defending their territoriality and promoting different productive projects that make synergy in the context of the multifunctionality of the peasant life in which they are now part.
