Popis: Cattle raising in flooded regions could be an opportunity to reconcile production with conservation. At the same time, the difficulties of this activity limit their productivity and require efficient management by the producers. We present an analysis that shows the economic situation of a productive unit in the Paraguayan Humid Chaco. In the same way, and considering studies carried out in the unit, we review research results that would indicate a favorable impact on the conservation of the ecosystem. The importance of deepening the study of the link between livestock production and conservation of flooded areas is underlined.
