Colombia passed a landmark law June 4 aimed at improving traceability of its cattle supply chain to ensure beef isn’t sourced from deforeste
This June, Colombia passed a law to enhance its ability to trace cattle that have been grazing on illegally deforested land. Officials will be able to implement stricter registration and monitoring in deforestation hot spots and within the next two years all parts of the cattle and meat-packing industries will be required to implement due diligence measures.
"Conservation groups said if the law works as intended, the country could make unprecedented progress in the fight against illegal deforestation."
