WHY IS THE CONSERVATION OF THE GRAN CHACO IMPORTANT?

The Gran Chaco is one of the main carbon sinks in the world. A large part of its area is split between Paraguay and Argentina, while the remaining 15% is located between Bolivia and Brazil. It is the second largest area of native forest in South America.

In terms of biodiversity, the tropical forest of the Chaco is one of the richest on the planet. It is home to endemic and endangered animal species. It is also inhabited by indigenous communities that depend on its environment for their livelihoods.

Our Actions

Conservation of native fauna and flora.

Maintaining water quality by limiting topsoil runoff from land conversion from forest to cropland into waterways.

Organization of community projects with local participation.

Conservation of wetland, stream and forest ecosystems at risk of disappearing.

Reduction of greenhouse gas emissions from the conversion of natural areas to agricultural and livestock production.

Carbon credits sales management in the most demanding markets.

The Paraguayan Chaco in dissappearing process

The Chaco forest is at risk due to land use change. Legal land use change and illegal deforestation occur simultaneously. The main change is conversion of forest to grazing pastures and later, the replacement of these by row crop agriculture.

Endangered biodiversity and fauna

The Gran Chaco is a diverse biome of humid and semi-arid ecosystems made up of riparian forests, wetlands and savannahs. The Chaco forest is home to 3,400 species of plants, 500 species of birds, 150 species of mammals, and 220 species of reptiles and amphibians, including, but not limited to, several endangered species on the IUCN Red List: the Chaco peccary (endangered). Jaguar (near threatened), Giant Anteater (vulnerable), Giant Armadillo (vulnerable), Tapir (vulnerable), and the Crowned Eagle (endangered).
