Natura Argentina, with the support of Natura International, focuses its work on the creation of protected areas and the identification of biological values in wild areas with few routes and roads. This is an effective way to protect ecosystems. In addition, we collaborate closely with other conservation groups.

Currently, we carry out projects in different regions of Argentina:

In the provinces of Córdoba and Santiago del Estero: in the Laguna Mar chiquita (extreme northeast of Córdoba) and the adjoining area of Bañados de Río Dulce (extreme southeast of Santiago del Estero), there is the largest wetland in Argentina. We are working for the declaration of a national park in the area. This wetland protects extraordinary concentrations of waterfowl and water resources, with a potential size of more than one million hectares.

In Mendoza, there is a natural and cultural wealth that deserves to be protected: the Uspallata Valley. Natura Argentina works there from a multi-stakeholder approach to the creation of protected areas. We carry out actions to stimulate consensus, involving different sectors of society in the process of creating a national park in the area, the first in the province. The final objective is to conserve the water, the biodiversity and the history of the town; and promote local development through sustainable tourism.

In Salta province, we promote the conservation of the Chaco forest, grasslands and high wetlands in territories of great value for the well-being of local communities.

In La Rioja province, we focus our efforts on the Sierra de Famatina: this extra-Andean system is crowned with glaciers that provide water to the communities in its valleys. It is an area of high mountain ecosystems of spectacular beauty, with significant natural and cultural biodiversity.

Our actions for conservation labor are:

1. Binding work with local communities;
2. Collaboration with authorities and organizations at the local and national level;
3. And the scientific and technical field work to support our conservation programs.
