Paraguay Chaco/Pantanal Project

Paraguay is the meeting point for many different eco-regions, which create a rich and unique variety of wildlife habitats.

The growing demand for soya, biofuels and other industrial agriculture threatens these unique habitats, which, despite their importance to wildlife, have received little attention until recently.

How the World Land Trust is helping

In 2005 a legacy enabled the creation of the first 8,650 acre (3,600 ha) reserve in the grass and wetland habitat of the Chaco-Pantanal. As further funds have been raised it has been possible to increase the size of the Chaco-Pantanal Reserve to almost 35,000 acres (10,000 ha) .

Further land purchase has seen the creation of a new reserve in the increasingly threatened Dry Chaco , as well as protection of the quickly diminishing Atlantic Forest of Paraguay.
