This research analysed deforestation before and after the peace agreements in territories of “La Macarena Special Management Area” -AMEM-, in the municipality of La Macarena, Meta, Colombia. The methodology used compared the change in forest area from 2015 to 2018 in the AMEM areas with the application of three deforestation rate equations and the calculation of the percentage of increase in deforestation, as well as the development of surveys. As a result, deforestation increased in the four areas: two National Natural Parks -PNN- and two Integrated Management Districts -DMI-, being the most affected area the PNN Tinigua, with an increase in deforestation of 1176.1 % as a result of different reasons: the historical-social context of unsatisfied needs and the violence and absence of state figures, which add to drivers of deforestation such as land grabbing as a result of non-compliance with the peace agreements.
