In a historic act that marks a milestone in nature conservation led by Indigenous peoples, the Law of Protected Areas and Conservation Areas of the Guaran\u00ed Charagua Iyambae Indigenous Autonomy has been enacted on July 23, 2024. This law becomes a fundamental tool for the management, control and surveillance of protected areas. This law, the result of a participatory process of more than 70 meetings and assemblies, further consolidates the protection and governance of more than 5 million hectares of forests and ecosystems vital to the region. Furthermore, the management plan for the \u00d1embi Guasu Indigenous Conservation Area<\/a> was endorsed by law, which is part of the Charagua protected area system.\u00a0<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n\n

Luc\u00eda S\u00e1nchez, vice-president of the Charagua Iyambae Autonomous Assembly, recalls: \u2018As inhabitants of Isoso, Charagua, we saw the need for laws to protect our natural areas. It was then that we began to imagine a larger territory that would guarantee the conservation of our resources.\u2019 <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
