Protection of the forest in the farms is important as it is an area deemed important for biodiversity protection, part of a biological corridor, water priority and most importantly for the high risk of forest loss embedded within an area with a low development social index.

These farms are in the vicinity of the Barra del Colorado Mixed Wildlife Refuge (to the east of the farms) and the Maquenque Mixed Wildlife Refuge (to the west of the farms), so the conservation of this forest is also essential to promote connectivity between these two protected wild areas, helping the ecosystems to maintain their great biodiversity. However, the farms are surrounded by a landscape that has been losing forest cover, mainly due to by pineapple production expansion.

The Global Information Facility reports fewer reports of bird occurrences (yellow dots), compared with other farms, but it is due to the location of the Plywood farms, as they are not located in a region with important tourism routes; however, most of the same species roam the overall landscape.
