As part of the Listen to the Amazon Alliance, IRI Colombia contributed to the development and issuance of a joint statement on the Draft Law on the Deforestation-free Cattle Production Chain. Through the statement, IRI Colombia and other partners advocate for approval of the bill, which would directly contribute to the conservation of the Amazon rainforest and the management of the agricultural sector. The bill seeks to improve industry compliance with good conservation practices, and expand opportunities for participation in international markets, which have increasingly stricter regulations against products linked to or suspected of contributing to deforestation and forest degradation. The statement can be viewed here.
