Abstract

This paper presents the geological, geomorophological and vegetational characterisitcs of the region of Parapetí River and Izozog Swamp. The area belongs to the selected areas of the net CABAH – Controles Abioticos de Humedales (Abiotic Control of Wetlands), Bolivia. This area is part of Great Chaco (Gran Chaco) one of the driest and warmest regions of South America. The existence of a particular and fragile biodiversity requires a more profound knowledge of the dynamics of its hydrological regime and the stage of impact by the present land use.
