Juan Carlos Lozada, as a member of the Chamber of Representatives, defended and approved a bill to ensure that animals have a regulation that protects them from abuse: Law 1774 of 2016. This law also gave rise to the Animal Abuse Task Force of the Office of the Nation’s Attorney General, which is responsible for investigating offences against animals throughout the country. He is also the author of the law 2047 of 2020 which prohibits the use of animals to test cosmetic products. He is also the author of the law 2111 of 2021 which completely reforms the chapter of environmental crimes of the Penal Code to create the crimes of deforestation and wildlife trafficking. This law also criminalized the illegal appropriation of the nation’s property. Juan Carlos Lozada recently also defended and passed a law prohibiting single-use plastics.

He currently defends several bills in the Congress, including the legalization of the recreational use of cannabis, the creation of a mechanism for community participation in extraction projects, traceability of meat, the prohibition of bullfighting, the National Animal Welfare and Protection Code and environmental licences for cemeteries, among other initiatives.

In addition, the representative teaches in his free time yoga and meditation.
