Biodiversity
The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are one of the most important objectives of our lifetime.
Protecting Nature’s Masterpiece
Chaco Vivo is a sanctuary of life where nature’s rich tapestry thrives in its full glory. The Gran Chaco, one of the world’s most biodiverse ecosystems, is home to an astonishing array of flora and fauna. From the towering quebracho trees to the elusive jaguar, this region is a living testament to the beauty and resilience of the natural world. Our mission at Chaco Vivo is to protect and preserve this biodiversity for future generations.
A Haven for Wildlife
The Gran Chaco is a critical habitat for countless species, many of which are found nowhere else on Earth. Chaco Vivo safeguards over 187,916 hectares of this vital ecosystem, ensuring species such as the Chacoan peccary, crowned solitary eagle, and endangered Palo Santo tree continue to thrive. These efforts protect individual species and maintain the intricate web of life that supports them all.irreplaceable natural treasures.
Critical Biodiversity Corridors
Biodiversity is not just about isolated species but the connections between them. Chaco Vivo is crucial in maintaining and restoring biodiversity corridors that allow animals to move freely, find mates, and access resources. These corridors are essential for the survival of migratory species and for maintaining genetic diversity, which is vital for the resilience of ecosystems.
Conservation of Endangered Species
The Gran Chaco is home to several species on the brink of extinction. Chaco Vivo is at the forefront of conservation efforts, implementing strategies to protect these endangered species and their habitats. Through rigorous monitoring and research, we are working to ensure that species like the jaguar, marsh seedeater, and the Chaco side-necked turtle have a fighting chance.
Restoring Ecosystems
Biodiversity thrives in healthy ecosystems. Chaco Vivo is protecting the existing forest and will actively restore degraded areas. Our reforestation efforts involve planting native tree species, restoring wetlands, and improving soil health to create a robust environment where biodiversity can flourish.
Monitoring and Research
Understanding biodiversity is vital to its protection. At Chaco Vivo, we employ advanced technologies like satellite imagery, drones, and blockchain to monitor biodiversity and track changes in the ecosystem. Our partnership with universities and research institutions ensures that our conservation strategies are based on the latest scientific knowledge and best practices.
The Role of Indigenous Knowledge
The Indigenous communities of the Gran Chaco have lived in harmony with nature for generations, possessing deep knowledge of the land and its ecosystems. Chaco Vivo collaborates closely with these communities, integrating traditional ecological knowledge into our conservation strategies. This partnership not only enhances our efforts but also ensures that the cultural heritage of these communities is respected and preserved.
A Legacy of Conservation
Biodiversity is the foundation of life on Earth, and Chaco Vivo is committed to leaving a legacy of conservation that will endure for generations. By protecting the Gran Chaco’s incredible biodiversity, we are safeguarding species and ensuring that the ecosystems they inhabit continue to provide essential services, such as clean air, water, and a stable climate.
