LIMA, LIMA, PERU, March 16, 2023 /EINPresswire.com/ -- According to the Ministry of Environment, from 2001 to 2015, Peru has lost a total of 1,809,547 hectares of forests, equivalent to an average of 120,000 hectares lost each year. However, this figure reached dramatic levels during the pandemic (1).The increase in deforestation coincides with the uncontrolled proliferation of migrant agriculture, illegal mining and above all the increase in illegal coca leaf production that reached shocking levels: Around one hundred thousand hectares. Every day hundreds of people choose illegal or informal activities due to the lack of formal and profitable opportunities to improve their lives and support their families.
