Montes del Plata, Stora Enso's 50/50 joint operation in Uruguay, runs a pulp mill in Punta Pereira in the southwestern part of the country, while its eucalyptus plantations are mainly located in central and northwestern Uruguay.

Protecting the environment and biodiversity is a top priority for Montes del Plata.

Preserving local biodiversity and culture

Montes del Plata owns 190 000 hectares and leases 72 000 hectares of land, of which 65% is planted with eucalyptus trees. The remaining 35% is reserved for purposes such as cattle grazing and the conservation of native forests and special ecosystems. Five sites with High Conservation Values (HCVs) are monitored by a team of experts.
