哥伦比亚西南部考卡省玻利瓦尔市山区近日发生大规模山林火灾，火势目前仍处于失控状态。据当地市长介绍，这是该市三十多年来最严重的一次火灾，约2500公顷土地被毁，大量甘蔗与咖啡作物受损，火势已蔓延至考卡山谷省。由于起火区域靠近环境保护区，周边重要水源可能受到影响，加之山区地形复杂，消防人员难以接近，灭火工作进展艰难，目前已请求空中支援。值得关注的是，近期哥伦比亚政府与多支反政府武装组织的停火协议相继终止，武装冲突加剧，不少人怀疑此次林火与冲突有关。考卡省、考卡山谷省和北桑坦德省均为哥伦比亚重要咖啡产区，虽然目前冲突尚未直接威胁咖啡庄园和小农户生产，但9月即将迎来冬季产季，山火对产量的影响不容忽视，可能进一步推高本已持续上涨的咖啡采购价格。 [more…]
