Implemented since 2012, Operation New Alliance is an important bilateral cooperation initiative between Brazil and Paraguay. In addition to combating drug trafficking, the actions contribute to the protection of public health and environmental preservation in regions affected by the illegal cultivation of cannabis .
The operation also includes the recovery of areas degraded by illegal planting, an activity conducted by the competent Paraguayan authorities.
