Approximately ten to fifteen percent of this area is located
in Paraguay.
The ecoregion faces numerous threats to its survival, including
the growth of the agricultural frontier, especially in Brazil;
the development of a railroad in Brazil; a gas pipeline
in Bolivia; and, potentially, the multilateral-funded Hidrovia
project.
Each ecological region has unique circumstances threatening
its conservation.
Due to the fact that all three regions are international
(both geographically and in significance), it is impossible
to plan conservation strategies which are not regionally
integrated.
It is clear that there is a need for better integration
and coordination.
