		Putumayo residents generally agreed that an effective coca-eradication strategy must be manual, gradual, and mutually agreed with the affected communities.

	Foreign Policy
		Putumayo takes its name from the river that crosses the department from west to east and serves as a natural border between Colombia and Ecuador and Peru.
		Putumayo’s land and resources are being disputed by the guerrillas, the paramilitaries, and the Colombian government, which through Plan Colombia promotes United States interests such as market penetration for its products and access to raw materials, particularly minerals and the rainforest canopy.
		In 1999 there were 13 massacres in Putumayo killing 77 persons, according to the document “Luz para la Vida” from the Defensoria del Pueblo and the UN High Commissioner for Refugees Office.

	Plan Petroleum in Putumayo
		The implementation of the $1.3 billion Plan Colombia in Putumayo followed on the heels of a dramatic increase in the number of attacks against the department’s oil infrastructure from 48 in 1999 to 110 the following year.
		Orito municipality is the Putumayo department’s largest recipient of oil revenue, but the degree of poverty and underdevelopment is no less stark than in other comparably sized towns that receive no oil funds.
		Within the town, however, the dramatic contrast between the lifestyle of the oil workers and other local residents is reminiscent of Gabriel García Márquez’s portrayal of the foreign fruit company’s presence in the mythical town of Macondo.

	Report on Verification Mission, "Impacts in Ecuador of fumigations in Putumayo as part of Plan Colombia," ...
		The new fumigation period to eliminate illicit crops that started on July 28 in the Department of Putumayo, in Colombia, and on the border zone, in Ecuador, has triggered severe impacts on the population's health and on crops, animals, and ways of living.
		Regarding this, it was confirmed that fumigations are affecting Ecuadorian territory. In some cases, spraying extends up to the bank of the San Miguel River, and planes are infringing upon Ecuador's air space. In addition, because of the air currents chemicals drift into Ecuador and severely damage the way of life of Ecuador's border population.
		Bearing in mind that fumigations have increased in the Department of Putumayo and that there have been fumigations once again in the area where the samples were taken (October 4, 2002), we believe that it is urgent to analyze and determine the scope of the risk that the population located on the border is running.

		If Putumayo's farmers are not convinced that crop substitution - pulling out coca bushes and putting bananas, palms or cattle in their place - is going to work for them, they will continue with coca.
		But after heavy protests from local officials, the plan was modified to give small coca growers a reprieve: Their land will not be sprayed if they agree to take part in a voluntary crop-substitution program.

		The lesson of Putumayo should be that temporary surges in military activity, however ambitious, will not bring meaningful results on their own.

		Castillo and his family, like countless other residents of Putumayo, take all their water for bathing and drinking from creeks and small pools of surface water that have been sprayed repeatedly.

		Actually, it was a smart move of the compilers to stick to traditional "roots" reggae rather than pander to trendier permutations like dancehall, ragga, and the current Jamaican hip-hop boom that has brought us the likes of Sean Paul.

		This one features techno-trance artists from all over the world, and thus it's quite post-modern and not at all regional, nor does it feature a specific ethnicity or group of related cultures.

		From Putumayo's children's division, Sing Along With Putumayo is a decent attempt to make an American roots music album engineered for kids.
		The bulk of the artists here aren't really from the children's music genre at all, but they sweeten their songs a bit for these recordings.
		Putumayo has possibly done something difficult for children's albums to manage: they have made a nice collection that the kids can sing along with (lyrics are available for the songs as well), and added some name recognition and nostalgia, along with higher quality songs, for the parents to stand on endless replays.
