BIODIVERSITY CONSERVATION

The official Red de Áreas Naturales Conservadas (Network of Natural Preserved Areas) makes an important contribution to the conservation of biodiversity in the landscape, the ecosystem and in species. There are interna tional standards and workbooks for the protection of native species and ecosystems, particularly those that are threatened or at risk.

NATURAL PROTECTED AREAS

UPM DEFINED FOUR CATEGORIES OF UNPLANTED AREAS DESTINED FOR CONSERVATION DEPENDING ON THEIR ATTRIBUTES:

HIGH VALUE CONSERVATION AREAS (HVCAS) 1

CONNECTIVITY AREAS (COAS) BETWEEN THE OTHER AREAS

THE VARIOUS ECOSYSTEMS

In 1991 UPM Forestal Oriental began identifying areas that need to be preserved due to their ecologic value. We regularly identify new sites as new eco

regions that are incorporated into the company’s sphere of influence. In this Network of Natural Preserved Areas, verifiable goals and

objectives are established both for the network and for each of the areas involved . Valuable contributions have been made to the conservation of biodiversity in Uruguay.
