TNI Drug Policy Briefing Number 19 - The Sierra de la Macareno: Drugs and armed conflict in Colombia By Ricardo Vargas

Re-establishing fumigation is not going to legitimise or win acceptance of the State's activities in the territory of the Park. It is not going to protect the Park from the environmental deterioration generated by the critical interventions of social and military actors in the war. It is also not going to really affect the FARC's "bankroll". What it will do is create well-fertilised territory for the prolonging of the armed conflict.
