dc.description.abstract	Over the past decade, illegal gold extraction has increased significantly in the Amazon region, partly due to the high international prices of this mineral, the less stringent attitude of some countries in relation to the environment and the pursuit of immediate economic opportunities. Furthermore, this illicit activity is closely intertwined with other illegal practices, such as drug trafficking, human trafficking, and the trafficking of endangered species. This has repercussions not just for the region's ecological wealth, but also for the physical well-being of those safeguarding their lands and the health of communities living in proximity to the extraction zones due to the contamination of their rivers and, consequently, their primary sources of food, such as fish. Despite the international effort to recognize the socio-environmental repercussions of this activity, there are still gaps on this issue, mainly due to the economic losses that this activity represents.	en
dc.description.abstract	La extracción ilegal de oro ha crecido en la última década en la Amazonía, en parte debido a los altos precios internacionales de este mineral, la actuación menos estricta de algunos países respecto al medio ambiente y la búsqueda de oportunidades económicas inmediatas. A esto se suman las actividades ilícitas conexas, como el narcotráfico, la trata de personas y de especies, entre otras. Esto no solo afecta la riqueza natural de la región, sino la integridad física de quienes defienden sus territorios, y la salud de las poblaciones cercanas a los sitios de extracción, debido a la contaminación de sus ríos y, por ende, de sus fuentes de alimentación primaria, como los peces. A pesar del esfuerzo internacional en reconocer las repercusiones sociales y medioambientales de esta actividad, aún existen vacíos en lo que respecta a este tema, principalmente por los daños económicos que esta actividad representa.	es
