Nature and Community
Project
The Selva de Urundel REDD + project aims to protect an area of 50,000 hectares of forest in the Southern Yungas region in northern Argentina.
The Yungas are mountain forests that are extremely important for the extraordinary biodiversity they contain and because they provide a series of ecosystem goods and services of the highest value, including the collection and storage of rainwater and the regulation of water basins.
This region, which in recent years has reported an alarming rate of deforestation, exceeding 1% per year, is now threatened by the constant expansion of agriculture, illegal logging and fires that every year occur more frequently.
