Although the Chaco is still relatively intact and sparsely
inhabited, the area is under increasing environmental threat
from the development of the agricultural frontier and cattle
ranching.
The completion of a paved road linking ground transport between
the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans through the Paraguayan Chaco
and of a gas pipeline through the Bolivian Chaco will encourage
additional significant development to the area in the near
future.
