The Colombian forest has been the setting for a drug industry
battlefield for years. The growing market for drug consumption in Europe
and the United States encouraged by media and lifestyle, provokes a
huge damage in third world countries where production is made at a very
low costs. Authorities do as much as they can but the market is very
demanding and poverty drives local broke farmers into growing illegal
crops to support their families. For years, Colombia has been fighting
drug production but consumption is not controlled in the big economies.
In general terms, Colombian institutions an people fight between
survival and preservation with minimal resources.
