Itaipu Binacional was awarded the certification of WWF Paraguay at the beginning of March for the protection of 74,000 hectares of reserves.
In May 2014, Itaipu Binacional* and WWF Paraguay signed the United Nations Protocol of Intent for the Conservation of the Atlantic Forest and for the Promotion of the Development Capacities of Small Farmers located in the area of influence of the dam. The Protocol’s objectives are to achieve net zero deforestation in this area, to reduce the effects of climate change, and to promote the application of environmental laws.
