The Amazon Rainforest is not only a vital ecological treasure, but also a battleground where serious and organised crimes like drugs trafficking, environmental exploitation, and human trafficking converge; these ‘convergent crimes’ have devastating impacts on local communities, green enterprise, and the environment.
