President of the Republic of Colombia

Quindío, Armenia March 6, 2021

Dear President Iván Duque Márquez:

This is to kindly request that you take into consideration my points of

view and possible solutions to the problems of deforestation that is
experienced today in Colombia because the population is being
seriously affected and that in our country it has been destroyed by
deforestation, has many negative effects on the environment including
loss of habitat, a decrease in biodiversity, extinction
of animal and plant species, soil erosion, air pollution. So, as you can
imagine, this is a serious problem and urgent action is required. That is
why I suggest that roundtables be held to expose the different problems
and create joint solutions.
Thanks for your attention.
