PROTECTED AREAS
More than six thousand hectares have
been defined by the company as pro-
tected areas, located in different mana-
gement units both on the coast and in
Tacuarembó.
Since the start of operations, protected
areas have been identified and deli-
neated for conservation purposes.
In 2013, a Network of Protected Areas
was set up in conjunction with Vida
Silvestre, covering a total of 6251
hectares spread across 16 areas in the
departments of Río Negro, Paysandú
and Tacuarembó. Alongside this, we
are carrying out an analysis of all of
the plots to determine whether other
areas should be incorporated, particu-
larly in the other regions of the country
that are not currently represented.
