The link between remote sensing and armed conflict processes has been evaluated through discrete representations of landscape, in other words, making deforestation and static land cover maps. However, the landscape is dynamic -- not discrete, and recognizing its evolution through armed conflict processes provides better-informed management and a more profound understanding of biodiversity dynamics. I present the advancements in monitoring landscape changes using state-of-the-art remote sensing in Colombia to provide critical elements to understanding the consequences of armed conflict processes on the environment.
