The National Park Médanos del Chaco was created by Executive Power Decree No. 21,957 / 2003 with the mission of protecting the biodiversity of the area, a mixture of xerophytic ecosystems (forest, scrub, savannah, among others), endemic species of flora and fauna, the formation of paleo dunes as well as species of phytogenetic resources of global importance. Within its territory there is a relevant part of the Yrenda Aquifer System, the most important natural reserve of fresh underground water in the Chaco. Furthermore, within the limits a great portion of the Timané River is protected, a river that plays a vital role in the cyclical development of different ecosystems of great importance to the northern Paraguayan Chaco.
