Illegal settlements and land clearing for agriculture also continue to threaten the territory of \u00d1embi Guasu. After a lengthy process that lasted four years, the Agro-Environmental Court once again ruled in favour of the \u00d1embi Guasu forests on 21 January 2025, prohibiting, among other things, the issuance of new authorisations for clearing and slash-and-burn forests, settlement resolutions, control of access to the \u00d1embi Guasu forest, and the suspension of productive activities. The ruling was appealed several times, and as of today, \u00d1embi Guasu is still awaiting a verdict by the highest agro-environmental court in the country.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"block block-container small-12 large-offset-1 large-10\">\n<p>Read more about the struggle to protect the Indigenous territory of \u00d1embi Guasu:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"block block-container small-12 large-offset-1 large-10\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.iucn.nl\/en\/news\/hope-for-justice-for-nembi-guasu\/#note28144112\">Hope for justice for \u00d1embi Guasu<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"block block-container small-12 large-offset-1 large-10\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">IUCN NL and \u00d1embi Guasu<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"block block-container small-12 large-offset-1 large-10\">\n<p>IUCN NL has been working with partner organisation\u202f<a href=\"https:\/\/nativabolivia.org\/area-de-conservacion-e-importancia-ecologica-nembi-guasu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">NATIVA Bolivia<\/a> since 2018 to support the Autonomous Indigenous Charagua government in conserving the \u00d1embi Guasu Indigenous Conservation Area.\u202f&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"block block-container small-12 large-offset-1 large-10\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.iucn.nl\/en\/project\/indigenous-led-conservation-in-nembi-guasu\/\">More information on \u00d1embi Guasu<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"block block-container small-12 large-offset-1 large-10\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"background background-preset-primary\" id=\"block_e5de1d1681d462a19270bcf2ee2e9608\">\n             <div class=\"dark custom-padding-top\">\n    \n\n\n<div class=\"smallteam-members__name12 large-offset-1 large-10\">\n\t<div id=\"team-members-block_07b2554257f13c9fdd4461b0c391f13b\" class=\"team-members team-members-block block\">\n\t\t<span class=\"anchor-id\" id=\"\"><\/span>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"team-members__title\">\n\t\t\t\t<div>More information?
