CTG Brasil's Biodiversity Action
River and aquatic conservation
To protect the ecology and diversity of aquatic species, CTG Brasil has established an Annual Fish Conservation Plan. By the end of 2022, a total of 3.61 million fishes have been released in the Paraná and Paraguay river basins, and fish rescue and release activities were also carried out downstream of the dam during the maintenance and inspection period when the dam was shut down.

By the end of December 2022, CTG Brasil had completed a total of 150 hectares of afforestation. Ecological restoration work is planned for land acquisition at the Jupiá, Ilha Solteira, Salto, Capivara and Taquarucu hydroelectric power plants. In addition, routine work such as wildlife conservation (mammals, birds, reptiles) has also been implemented.
Ecological protection in Ilha Solteira Zoo
CTG Brasil has hired the third-party organisation Ecologic to handle daily operation and maintenance of the Ilha Solteira Zoo. We conduct animal adoption, protection and medical aid activities every month. In addition, the organist is responsible for developing new animal habitats, clearing dangerous branches, inspecting and maintaining fire-fighting equipment, improving the zoo enviroonment, and providing care and rehabilitation for jaguar and anteater after surgery. Currently, there are a total of 350 animals in the Zoo, including reptiles, manmals and birds.
