To the point, estimates say, that they have ensured the protection of about <strong>7,000 km2 of forest<\/strong> between 2010 and 2018. The most impressive thing, however, is: a more widespread use of this strategy would have protected an area three times as large while halving the overall impact of the cattle industry on the land.
