Cocaine is often associated with the glamorous lifestyles of the rich and famous.
But its use is becoming more widespread. Although we know the health risks of
using drugs, few people think of the environmental consequences. Colombia is a
country that has had to pay that price heavily. Around 2.2 million hectares of tropical
forest have been cut down to grow coca. To produce just one kilogramme of cocaine,
200 kilogrammes of environmentally harmful chemicals have to be used. Join us
as we discover the rich diversity of Colombia's forests, learn more about the coca
plant itself and hear the effect we are having on an ecosystem thousands of miles
away from home.
