We must end the war on drugs and its war against nature. #InvestInJustice

To stop this cycle we need to divest from the environmentally destructive war on drugs and invest in environmental sustainability and support local ecological diversity while protecting traditional practices.

Meanwhile, the organic cultivation of illicit crops alongside subsistence crops remains both more profitable and environmentally sustainable - this is the real alternative development.

Farmers are incentivised to over-produce more resource-intensive crops in the name of development and survival.

Alternative Development efforts that focus only on eliminating illicit crop cultivation, though 
well-intentioned, can cause harm.

Within these conditions we see drug control measures further contributing to environmental degradation. They drive farmers into unsustainable farming practices, or rely on aerial fumigation to destroy crops that have been cultivated for thousands of years.

Investment in megaprojects in the Amazon, in the name of economic development, leads to displacement and insecurity. This disrupts the social fabric of communities and creates the conditions for drug trafficking to thrive.

Illicit drug trafficking is deeply intertwined with legal and semi-legal environmentally destructive markets. 
These are linked through shared infrastructure, territorial access and money laundering networks.

The war on drugs has fuelled environmental degradation by pushing drug producers and traffickers into untouched areas of the amazon to evade detection. This displacement has doubled the rate of annual forest loss over the past decade.
