At the heart of Chaco Vivo is our unwavering commitment to the people who call the Gran Chaco home. This region’s lush forests and vast landscapes are more than just a haven for wildlife—they are the lifeblood of Indigenous and rural communities that have lived here for generations. Through our comprehensive community engagement programs, Chaco Vivo transforms lives while preserving this extraordinary region’s cultural and ecological richness.
The following map illustrates the location of rural and Indigenous communities within the project’s Area of Influence (AOI).
Central to our community initiatives is the L.I.F.E. Program™. This robust social program is designed to address all 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), ensuring that our efforts in conservation go hand-in-hand with improving the quality of life for local communities. From education and health to gender equality and economic growth, the L.I.F.E. Program™ is a blueprint for sustainable development in action.
The U.N. Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) colored in are claimed by the project developer.
The following highlights the project’s broad impacts on the U.N. Sustainable Development Goals
Education is the cornerstone of progress. Chaco Vivo is dedicated to enhancing educational opportunities for children and adults alike. Through partnerships with local schools and organizations, we provide resources, training, and scholarships that help foster a brighter future for the next generation.
Healthy communities are strong communities. Chaco Vivo is improving access to essential health services, clean water, and sanitation for the communities within our project area. Our initiatives include building new health clinics, providing vaccinations, and promoting nutritional programs that combat malnutrition and disease.
Economic stability is crucial for sustainable development. Through the L.I.F.E. Program™, we create jobs, foster entrepreneurship, and support sustainable agricultural practices that provide long-term economic benefits. Whether through eco-tourism, sustainable farming, or small business development, Chaco Vivo is helping communities build self-sufficient futures.
Empowering women is vital to community resilience. Chaco Vivo strongly emphasizes gender equality, ensuring women have equal access to resources, education, and economic opportunities. We support women-led initiatives, provide leadership and business skills training, and work to eliminate gender-based violence.
