Paraguayan authorities have made significant strides in combating illegal deforestation along the country's borders with Brazil and Argentina. Interpol announced the arrest of 26 individuals in connection with suspected illegal deforestation activities. The operation, which took place in mid-October, involved collaboration among 14 different agencies.
The crackdown utilized various methods, including border inspections, waterway surveillance, and aerial monitoring of forests. As a result, approximately 1,000 logs were seized, including valuable quebracho wood known for its density and high tannin content.
