AVITOPIA - Birds of Paraguay Kindle Edition

Paraguay is a landlocked country in South America. It is traversed by the Rio Paraguay from north to south and divided into two clearly distinguishable geographical regions. The Western Region (Región Occidental), also known as the Chaco, consists of rather arid plains, while the Eastern Region (Región Oriental) has more grassy and forested hills. The climate is tropical to subtropical. In Paraguay, only dry seasons and rainy seasons alternate. Several national parks and many protected areas have been established to protect nature, most of which are located in the western part of the country.
