Monitoring Results of Cultivation of Coca in Bolivia

11. Outline
• Content- The United Nations Office of Drugs and Crime produces an
annual report from the monitoring of illicit crops grown around the
world. For the purpose of this research project, I will be using their
information in the years 2004-2013 regarding the location/amount of
coca grown in Bolivia.
• Purpose- These maps prove that even though coca cultivation has
technically decreased in Bolivia, it is still incredibly prevalent. This
cultivation has caused massive deforestation and displacement of
people, supporting some of the environmental and social views of the
paper.
• Shows a negative trajectory of growing over time, however slight it may be.
• Overall, this will be an accompanying visual on the website where the change
in time of coca in Bolivia will be running on a time loop.
