A new investigation by the documentary team Patrullaje<\/strong> on illegal cattle ranching in protected areas such as the Indio Maiz <\/strong>Reserve has launched a campaign<\/a> urging the public to sign an open letter addressed to several US companies, calling on them not to buy beef produced on illegal ranches located within Nicaragua\u2019s protected areas.<\/p>\n\n

The campaign is backed by the international conservation organization Re:wild, which warns that \u201cmajor US food brands may be serving what they call \u201cconflict beef\u201d linked to tropical forest deforestation and to violations of the rights of Nicaragua\u2019s Indigenous and Afro-descendant peoples.\u201d<\/p>\n\n

For many years, cattle ranching was Nicaragua\u2019s leading export sector, until the high international price of gold and the unexpected boom in its mining<\/a> relegated it to second place. Even so, in 2024 the country received nearly 996 million dollars from beef, livestock, and dairy exports, according to the Foreign Trade Report for the Fourth Quarter of 2024,<\/a> published by the Central Bank of Nicaragua. <\/p>\n\n

The investigators said in a statement that it suspects shipments of beef from illegal ranches located in Nicaragua\u2019s protected and Indigenous territories are being sold in US supermarkets and restaurants. This occurs despite the Nicaraguan authorities\u2019 claims that they have \u201cregulations and a traceability system to prevent it,\u201d according to a report published by the Patrullaje campaign with Re:wild\u2019s support. <\/p>\n\n

The report Conflict Beef<\/a>, by Nicaraguan journalist and documentary filmmaker Camilo de Castro, director of Patrullaje<\/strong>, asserts that Nicaragua\u2019s main slaughterhouses source cattle from illegal ranches and export that meat to the United States and other markets. The report highlights how this makes \u201cuninformed consumers potential accomplices in the destruction of tropical forests and in violations of the rights of Indigenous and Afro-descendant peoples,\u201d as ranchers clear forests to raise and feed cattle. <\/p>\n\n

An executive from the meat sector, who requested anonymity, said that claiming the industry alone is destroying the forests is \u201cattributing a much more complex problem to a single factor.\u201d He pointed out that in addition to cattle ranching, there are other activities responsible for environmental degradation, such as agriculture, poverty, the desire for land ownership, population growth, mining, and simple land trading. <\/p>\n\n

Disregard for Reserves and Indigenous Lands<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n

The publication presents several case studies found in the Mayangna Sauni Bas Territory (within the Bosaw\u00e1s Biosphere Reserve) and the Rama and Kriol Indigenous Territory, which lies inside the boundaries of the Indio Maiz Biological Reserve. Cattle ranching (as well as agriculture, mining, and other activities) is prohibited in these areas. <\/p>\n\n

The report directly points to alleged weaknesses in the National Bovine Traceability Information System to explain how cattle laundering<\/em> occurs. Such systems are designed to track each animal from birth to the final consumer to guarantee food safety and meat quality\u2014requirements essential for access to markets that demand transparency and strict production chain controls. <\/p>\n\n

Environmental activist Amaru Ruiz, president of the banned Fundaci\u00f3n del R\u00edo, says that the traceability system \u201cis not transparent,\u201d and that there is no oversight or monitoring process to ensure cattle are not being fattened within protected areas and Indigenous territories.<\/p>\n\n

During visits to various ranching zones,<\/a> the executive director of the Institute for Agricultural Health and Protection (IPSA), Ricardo Somarriba, emphasized the agency\u2019s mechanisms for combating the screwworm, while also promoting the advances of the National Bovine Traceability Program.<\/a><\/p>\n\n

According to Re:wild\u2019s report, the weakness of the traceability system and lack of oversight have allowed \u201cconflict beef\u201d to be exported to the United States, mixed with legally produced meat, and sold to consumers without labeling. The publication concludes that \u201cthis situation makes consumers unwitting accomplices in human rights violations and public health risks, while putting US food producers at a disadvantage.\u201d <\/p>\n\n

The previously cited executive was skeptical that finding cattle tags in reserve areas proves that slaughterhouses\u2014and consumers\u2014are responsible for environmental crimes, although he acknowledged that \u201ca truly effective traceability system would solve this problem.\u201d He also agreed on the need to address property rights and corruption, \u201cbut we already know none of that will go anywhere as long as these people are in power.\u201d <\/p>\n\n

The eastward expansion of cattle ranching into Nicaragua\u2019s Caribbean region is generating increased pressure on Indigenous communities, Ruiz warns. He refers to phenomena such as land invasions and rising land conflicts. \u201cRanchers are interested in buying land to fatten cattle, even within protected areas,\u201d he notes, while warning of the risk deforestation poses to maintaining the region\u2019s rainfall patterns. <\/p>\n\n

Nicaragua has lost nearly 10% of its primary forests over the past two years and recorded the highest rate of primary forest loss in the world in 2024\u2014driven mainly by the expansion of agricultural and cattle frontiers to meet growing global demand for beef, according to the report. It adds that more than 92% of the deforestation of Central America\u2019s intact forests is linked to the cattle industry, much of it illegal. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
