At our ForestalRíoAquidabán project in Paraguay, we have evaluated the results from more than one year of biodiversity monitoring in the field.
Of the many species detected, anteaters, tapirs, and capuchin monkeys are recognized as vulnerable by the IUCN. The endangered marsh seedeater was identified through acoustic sensors.
Sustainable reforestation starts with understanding the ecosystem. That’s why our forest management integrates the results of our biodiversity monitoring and actively adapts practices to support vulnerable species in particular, for example, by maintaining and enhancing the habitats they depend on.
One example: anteaters love termites (and ants, of course). To support them, we intentionally leave standing deadwood in the forest to provide habitat for termites – and food for anteaters.
