Former FARC rebels in Colombia, who fought for decades against the government for land and power, re-invented themselves as ecological warriors by protecting the Amazon rainforest from illegal logging.
According to the government, deforestation in the Colombian Amazon increased by 60% between 2015 and 2018.
The rainforest was a banned area during the conflict, but illegal logging has exploded since the 2016 peace agreement.
