贩毒正在对中美洲的生物多样性森林造成损害。具有分水岭意义的2013年报告《美洲毒品问题》（1）强调了向多边支持半球毒品政策改革的转变。美洲国家组织（OAS）的这份报告回顾了美国的失败，该组织领导了禁毒主义者的“禁毒战争”，并敦促各国重新考虑正统的“供应方”战略（包括阻截和根除毒品作物），并更加注重需求方政策试验。在中美洲，毒品运输的一个关键地区，正在被毒品引发的暴力和腐败撕裂（2，3），推动改革标志着希望，助长贩毒者利润和腐蚀性政治影响的条件可能最终被拆除（4）。
Drug trafficking is taking a toll on Central America's biodiverse forests. The watershed 2013 report, The Drug Problem in the Americas (1), highlights a shift toward multilateral support for hemispheric drug policy reform. This report by the Organization of American States (OAS) reviews failures of the U.S.-led prohibitionist “war on drugs” and urges states to reconsider orthodox “supply-side” strategies (including interdiction and drug crop eradication), and to focus more on demand-side policy experimentation. In Central America, a key zone of drug transit that is being ripped apart by narco-fueled violence and corruption (2, 3), the push for reform signals hope that the conditions fueling drug traffickers' profits and corrosive political influence may eventually be dismantled (4).
