Colombia passes landmark law to track millions of cattle and fight deforestation

Cattle traceability in Colombia now covers every link in the supply chain — from ranch to slaughterhouse to export — making it possible to verify whether beef comes from illegally deforested land.

The law applies to nearly 30 million head of cattle and gives regulators the power to designate high-surveillance zones where deforestation pressure is most intense. It also aligns Colombia with the EU Deforestation Regulation, opening the door to verified, deforestation-free beef in European markets.

Conservation groups say a functioning Colombian model could become a template for other Amazon nations facing the same pressures.

Antihero Project đŸŠč

You've read the good news. Now, start making your own.

Chapter 1-1: Polycrisis | Ordinary World --> Extraordinary World

We live in an era of unprecedented crisis, complexity, and exhaustion. We are constantly warned of society's imminent doom. We are inundated with news, requests, and opportunities from every corner of the globe. We are constantly told that we are not successful enough, working hard enough, or doing enough to save the world. We must do more. We must be more. We must be great. We must transform ourselves into the hero who can save the world from calamity.

But we do not need heroes. That framing has simply reinforced our exhaustion and inadequacy. It is part of the toxicity that has plunged us into crisis.

We need antiheroes.

The hero begins their journey in the "ordinary world" of relative peace, comfort, and familiarity. They must be called out to adventure to save the kingdom.

The antihero begins their journey already in the extraordinary world, already consumed by existential calamity, already striving for heroic greatness, already exhausted trying to be something they or anyone will not and cannot ever be.
