                            BBC / A. Daniels

     Paraguay's seemingly endless hectares of scrub forests...the Chaco region...is now highly coveted to raise cattle...because of its cheap land.
     Also known as South America's "Green Hell"...the Chaco has seen 10% of its scrub land burned and bulldozed...in just 4 years.
