Have you tried collagen powder?

If you have - you’re definitely not alone. It’s without question a global trend - but is our latest wellness obsession killing the planet?

Our joint investigation with @thebureauinvestigates, @pulitzercenter, Center for Climate Crime Analysis, @itv, and @ojoioeotrigo, has found cases of collagen, hailed for its anti-ageing benefits, being derived from cattle raised on farms damaging tropical forests and invading Indigenous territories in Brazil.

Here environment journalist Elisângela Mendonça explains how the investigation revealed the truth behind the unregulated industry.

Follow the link in bio for the full investigation - as well as our explainer on what exactly collagen is - and why it's so popular in the beauty industry.
