Tóm tắt

Endowed with rich forest resources, Paraguay has lost a large portion of its native forest cover in recent decades, primarily owing to the rapid expansion of the agricultural frontier and, to a lesser extent, the extraction of fuelwood, which underpins the country's energy security. A forest plantation subsector is emerging, in part to address the annual deficit of sustainably sourced biomass of around 9 million cubic meters.
