Laguna Blanca aims to promote sustainable tourism on the shores of the eponymously-named lake to finance the protection of 2000ha of pristine cerrado on the estate. This area, home to a staggering 14 species of global conservation concern, is almost unique in Paraguay and of the utmost conservation priority. FAUNA Paraguay performed a species inventory of the site and assists where possible in its promotion.

Xeno-canto is an invaluable online resource containing the largest collection of downloadable Neotropical birdsongs available on the net. Recordings are sent in by users and the collection grows bigger every day! FAUNA Paraguay actively supports xeno-canto and contributes recordings to their database, and the guys at xeno-canto have been good enough to set up a special page listing the recordings of species that occur in Paraguay to make referencing easier for Paraguayan users.
