Leonardo Dicaprio has been known for his acting rolegoing on to star in one of the highest-grossing films in history, Titanic. But apart from his passion and vocation for acting, Leonardo has been quite concerned about environmental issues around the world, one of the most important facets of him being an environmental leader of different organizations.
Colombia, being one of the most biodiverse countries in the world, is on its list of countries that have been taken into account in their different environmental initiatives.
What did Leonardo Dicaprio ask of the Colombian government?
In his most recent post on Instagram, Dicaprio mentioned “About 3 million hectares in the Colombian Amazon have been destroyed in the last 7 years. To stop this destruction, The Colombian Congress has the opportunity to take the historic step to protect the Amazon by approving the deforestation-free livestock traceability bill. If lawmakers approve this bill, Colombia will be preventing the trade of commodities from deforested areas, including those that are home to a high level of biodiversity.”.
The project, authored by Juan Carlos Losada, representative to the Chamber for the Liberal Party, seeks to create a registration and traceability system for cattle in Colombia, in order to prevent them from passing through areas during their breeding and fattening process. deforested. If said law is not approved in its last debate, you must go through the entire process again. This request joins that of other international organizations, such as the Foundation for Conservation and Sustainable Development (Fcds), which advocates for the law because it would work to attack deforestation.
Colombian actresses like Katherine Porto thanked the actor for joining this initiative.
