Main natural characteristics
The Rio Paraguay bisects the country into two distinct ecological regions. To the west are the dry woodlands of the Gran Chaco, while the humid subtropical Atlantic Forest of the Upper Paraná is dominant in the east. The primary pattern of land use / land cover change in both regions is large scale conversion of forest agriculture.

Deforestation drivers
• Soya incomes 23% of the GDP• Forest sector less than 2 %• This situation has lead to…….• Lost of almost 92% of the original
atlantic forest cover

How Paraguay is addressing this problem
• Non deforestation law in 2004, for the eastern region
• A monitoring strategy was implement• Monitoring of forest areas and
digitalization of land use and forest management plans
• Environmental service law in order to promote the conservation of remaing forest areas

Available Tools(remote sensors )
• Low resolution: MODIS 250 m• Medium resolution : LANDSAT 30 m
and CBERS 20 m• High Resolution : IKONOS –
QUICKBIRD – 5 a 0,5 m very costly

First Step: Forest Management and Land Use planing were audited
More than 600 land use and forest management plans were, evaluated, georeferenciated and put available in geospatial database

An innovative mechanism
• Those who have not comply with thelegally required 25 % reserve has topiad to the one, who preserve more than the 25%
• Main challenge, give an economicvalue to the forest not only timber andland oportunity cost
![Page 14: Deforestation monitoring A key issue for the REDD process … · 2013. 5. 31. · Gran Chaco, while the humid subtropical Atlantic Forest of the Upper Paraná is dominant in the east](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022071605/6140ce6c83382e045471af0b/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Main achievements
• Deforestation rates significantly reduced
• Monitoring plan is costly effective • Link with carbon stocks estimative will
be initiated • Easy to calculate when forest land
converted to agriculture and pastures
![Page 15: Deforestation monitoring A key issue for the REDD process … · 2013. 5. 31. · Gran Chaco, while the humid subtropical Atlantic Forest of the Upper Paraná is dominant in the east](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022071605/6140ce6c83382e045471af0b/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
How this initiatives will linked with REDD?
• Monitoring experience gained• Linked with GHG Inventories for LULUCF ,
posible baseline?• Gives an estimation on forest cover changes • Ground base inventories are required • This experience is suitable for sub national
approach • Need more investment , a greater capacity
for national approach• Nat Comunic has to be linked to REDD
![Page 16: Deforestation monitoring A key issue for the REDD process … · 2013. 5. 31. · Gran Chaco, while the humid subtropical Atlantic Forest of the Upper Paraná is dominant in the east](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022071605/6140ce6c83382e045471af0b/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Many constraints to start with a national approach
Technical capacity– Forest inventory and Monitoring– Forest Monitoring– Emission
• Financing– National Inventory– Capacity building program
• Legal– Land tenure
