Evaluation summary of the project Conservation and sustainable management of the Gran Chaco

The Gran Chaco is a vast geographical area shared between northern Argentina, southeastern Bolivia, northwestern Paraguay, and southeastern Brazil. It is the second largest forested area after the Amazon and is home to internationally recognized fauna and flora. With great social diversity, the Chaco includes many Indigenous groups, rural communities, large landowners, and growing cities, though these urban areas have not erased the region’s strong rural character.
