| description | Nestled in the heart of Colombia lies a place of breathtaking natural beauty: the department of Caquetá. The department is a vital part of the country’s Amazon basin and is filled with lush forests that teem with life. However, it faces an environmental paradox. Despite the abundance of greenery, Caquetá is also a significant contributor to greenhouse gas emissions. This is due to deforestation caused by livestock farming, which makes it Colombia’s third-largest producer of carbon dioxide. Nonetheless, we find hope in the challenges and opportunities unique to this region. We witness a story of sustainability, livelihoods, and the pressing need for transformative change. |
