On September 23, the Salesian Society of Paraguay and the Paraguayan Chamber of Sustainable Industries formalized a cooperation agreement, creating a new strategic alliance to promote sustainability, circular economy, environmental innovation, and responsible production.
Through this partnership, EcoBosco Paraguay will strengthen its connection with the sustainable business sector, creating opportunities to bring practical solutions, technologies, and successful environmental initiatives into its demonstration and educational programs.
The collaboration will also promote joint training, awareness activities, technical exchange, and participation in initiatives such as Mi País Sin Residuos, connecting companies, educational communities, and local actors around more sustainable production and consumption practices.
This alliance reinforces EcoBosco’s role as a space where environmental education, innovation, and real-world solutions come together to support Paraguay’s transition toward a more sustainable future.
Strategic Alliance with Fundación Moisés Bertoni
On September 17, the Salesian Society of Paraguay and Fundación Moisés Bertoni formally renewed their cooperation agreement, strengthening a strategic alliance focused on environmental conservation, education, and sustainable territorial development.
This new stage places special emphasis on the collaboration between EcoBosco Paraguay and the work carried out by Fundación Moisés Bertoni in the Aguapey Reserve and its surrounding area. Both initiatives share a common territory within the Lake Ypacaraí region, creating valuable opportunities to connect conservation, ecological restoration, environmental education, research, and community engagement.
Through this partnership, EcoBosco seeks to strengthen its role as a socio-environmental learning and demonstration center while contributing to broader efforts to protect biodiversity and promote the sustainable management of the Lake Ypacaraí landscape. The alliance also opens new opportunities for joint activities, technical exchange, training, and initiatives involving local communities and educational institutions.
On August 14, OPADES and EcoBosco formally signed a cooperation agreement, launching a new stage of joint work centered on environmental education and sustainability. The alliance combines OPADES' institutional experience with EcoBosco's technical expertise in regenerative agroecology and territorial sustainability.
Through this partnership, the center will gain technical support for environmental education initiatives, access to sustainable land-use practices, and opportunities for joint training and long-term collaboration — strengthening its capacity to build a lasting culture of environmental care within its community.
During the week of April 27– may 01, 2026, the EcoBosco Paraguay Project team will be present in Ypacaraí carrying out data collection and fieldwork on the property.
📅 April 27– May 01, 2026 📍 Ypacaraí
A participatory and hands-on learning experience facilitated by the professionals of Porvenir Design, designed for key stakeholders and representatives of organizations allied with the EcoBosco Paraguay Project. Throughout the session, participants will explore the core concepts of permaculture design and discover how to bring this approach into their own territories and educational processes.
A space to learn, ask questions, exchange knowledge, and collectively build a regenerative vision for the land.

After the mid-morning break, we open a new space: a hands-on permaculture workshop led by the visiting team from Costa Rica, where we will explore the principles and practices of agroecological design together with the community — grounding the conversation of the morning into concrete tools and living examples from the territory.
As part of EcoBosco’s ecological restoration efforts, we are supporting a large-scale tree planting event organised by Plantatón Paraguay. This initiative includes the planting of 10,000 native trees in Asunción, as a result of a strategic partnership aimed at restoring urban spaces and strengthening citizen engagement in environmental stewardship.
More than a one-time activity, it represents a concrete step towards greener, more resilient, and sustainable cities, promoting active participation from diverse stakeholders.
