Valle del Arroyo Cuña-Pirú Reserve

[1] It is on the middle part of the Arroyo Cuña Pirú, a stream, near Aristóbulo del Valle.

[3] It would be part of the proposed Trinational Biodiversity Corridor, which aims to provide forest connections between conservation units in Brazil, Paraguay and Argentina in the Upper Paraná ecoregion.

The Brazilian guinea pig (Cavia aperea), big lutrine opossum (Lutreolina crassicaudata) and hairy-tailed bolo mouse (Necromys lasiurus) were found only in cultivated or natural fields.
