Colombia has enacted a new law requiring cattle ranchers to track livestock and ensure their supply chains are free from deforestation. The legislation aims to address decades of forest loss driven by cattle expansion, particularly in the Amazon region. It mandates the integration of land ownership, cattle tracking, and deforestation monitoring systems, with implementation deadlines over two years, to prevent illegal land clearing and promote responsible production. The law is seen as a potential model for other tropical forest countries to improve oversight and meet international market demands.
