Buenos aires—The United States and Paraguay June 7 signed a debt-for-nature agreement whereby Washington will forgive $7.4 million in debt that the South American nation pledged to use to protect its tropical forests.rnParaguay will use the funds during the next 12 years to support grants to conserve and restore woodlands in the southern corridor of the Atlantic Forest of Alto Parana, including the San Rafael National Park Reserve, which contains the country's richest diversity of plants and animals.
