Proyecto Chaco Vivo
Los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS) de las Naciones Unidas son uno de los objetivos más importantes de nuestra vida.
Preserving the Heart of the Gran Chaco
Welcome to Chaco Vivo—an ambitious and vital conservation project to protect and rejuvenate one of South America’s most critical ecosystems: the Gran Chaco. Spanning over 187,916 hectares of untouched forest, this initiative is Paraguay’s largest REDD+ project, committed to combating deforestation, preserving biodiversity, and empowering local communities.
Discover the Gran Chaco
The Gran Chaco is more than just a forest; it’s a living, breathing sanctuary for over 3,400 plant species, 500 bird species, and numerous endangered animals like the jaguar and Chacoan peccary. Nestled in this rich tapestry of life is Laguna Ganzo a vital refuge for migratory birds and other wildlife. This project is your gateway to understanding and contributing to preserving these irreplaceable natural treasures.
Our Impact Mission
At the heart of Chaco Vivo is a deep commitment to sustainable development. Our mission is not just about conservation but also about fostering resilience within the Indigenous and rural communities who call this region home. Through the L.I.F.E. Program™ (Livelihood Initiatives; Forest Enterprises Program), we are working to improve the livelihoods of these communities while preserving their cultural heritage.
Why It Matters
Paraguay’s forests are threatened—losing over 1,000 hectares of tree cover daily due to agricultural expansion and illegal logging. Without immediate intervention, these forests could disappear within our lifetime. Chaco Vivo aims to reverse this trend by protecting the remaining forest, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and ensuring conservation benefits reach those most.
Innovative Solutions
Chaco Vivo is more than just a conservation project; it's a blueprint for the future. We are pioneering the use of blockchain technology to ensure transparency in our operations and partnering with global organizations to expand the impact of our work. Our Forest Ranger program is on the front lines, combating illegal activities and preserving biodiversity.
Join the Movement
Chaco Vivo is a collaborative effort, and we invite you to join us. Whether you’re an environmentalist, a tech enthusiast, or simply someone who cares about the planet, there’s a place for you in our mission. Together, we can ensure that the Gran Chaco remains a vibrant ecosystem for generations.
Time has changed
A Vision for the Future
By 2061, Chaco Vivo aims to have protected over 500,000 hectares of forest, reduced millions of tons of CO2 emissions, and uplifted thousands of lives. This is not just a project; it’s a legacy. We are committed to long-term ecological health, community well- being, and the sustainable development of the Gran Chaco region.
