Pluralising Political Forests: Unpacking "the State" by Tracing Virunga's Charcoal Chain
In Central America, drug traffickers are deforesting the region's remaining forests and protected areas through a process known as narco"?ganader??a, narco"?cattle ranching. Drawing on the case study of Laguna del Tigre National Park, this article argues that narco"?cattle ranching is a key driver of deforestation in Guatemala's Maya Biosphere Reserve. Using ethnographic and remote"?sensing methods, we describe narco"?cattle ranching's money"?laundering practices, its territorial dynamics, and its environmental impacts. We draw on theorisations of "political forests" to explain how drug trafficking organisations transform land use in the reserve, and along the way, remake its ecology, territories and subjects. Our work illustrates that drug policy is inextricably linked to conservation policy in the Americas. More specifically, we argue that community"?based resource management improves forest and protected area residents' abilities to resist drug"?trafficking related land use change by strengthening local governance and land tenure regimes.
ResumenEn Am?rica Central, los traficantes de drogas est??n deforestando los bosques y ??reas protegidas restantes de la regi??n a trav?s de un proceso localmente conocido como narco"?ganader??a. Con base en el estudio de caso del Parque Nacional Laguna del Tigre, este art??culo argumenta que no es la agricultura de subsistencia practicada por campesinos sin tierras la que est?? causando deforestaci??n en la Reserva de la Bi??sfera Maya de Guatemala, sino la narco"?ganader??a. Por medio de m?todos etnogr??ficos y de percepci??n remota, describimos las pr??cticas de lavado de dinero de la narco"?ganader??a, sus din??micas territoriales y sus impactos ambientales. A partir de teorizaciones de "bosques pol??ticos", explicamos c??mo las organizaciones de narcotr??fico transforman el uso del suelo en la reserva y, como consecuencia, reconfiguran su ecolog??a, territorios y sujetos. Nuestro trabajo ilustra que la pol??tica en materia de drogas est?? ??ntimamente relacionada con la pol??tica de conservaci??n en las Am?ricas. M??s espec??ficamente, sostenemos que el manejo de recursos de manera comunitaria mejora las habilidades de los residentes de ??reas protegidas para resistir cambios de uso del suelo relacionados con el tr??fico de drogas a trav?s del fortalecimiento de la gobernanza local y de los reg??menes de tenencia de la tierra.
