General Information:

Project ID
Project name The Paraguay Forest Conservation Project - Reduction of GHG emissions from deforestation and forest degradation in the Chaco-Pantanal ecosystem
Secondary name
Last Update 02 Sep 2020
Size (hectare) 4745
Start year 2011
End year 2031
Project description The project goal is to conserve the natural and cultural qualities, including the stored carbon, of forest lands in the Chaco-Pantanal transition zone of Alto Paraguay, of high conservation value but threatened with transformation to cattle ranching. Private holdings that are legally available for ranching development are targeted, particularly those that help maintain ecological connectivity in the general context of on-going fragmentation and isolation at a landscape level. The strategy is to purchase available properties in partnership (co-ownership and management) with local communities, with legal safeguards to ensure permanence of conservation management regime. It is a grouped project with an initial project instance consisting of the purchase of a 4,745 ha property, undertaken in partnership with the Union de Comunidades de la Nación Yshir (UCINY) representing the Yshir indigenous community. Further project instances will replicate this basic approach.
