Dr. Nick Emlen: The effects of cocaine production and trafficking on the Indigenous people of Peru

In the Peruvian Andes about 1,000 kilos of cocaine are produced every day, a third of the total world production. With good intentions, the government once opened up the tropical rainforests with roads, but the result was that drug gangs took control of the areas.

The indigenous population suddenly found themselves confronted by powerful drug cartels. What does this mean for them? How do they deal with these dangerous cartels? Dr. Nick Emlen (UG) has been doing his dangerous research here for years and in this webinar he tells us about his findings. (Illicit Trade Webinar 9 June 2022)
