National Park Day

This day was established in 1903, the year in which our country became the third country in America to promote the development of protected areas.

Protected areas fulfill important functions in the conservation of natural and cultural resources. They are sectors of the continental or marine territory of great value in terms of their biodiversity and scenic beauty.

They limit human activities with a status of legal protection. Argentina has been a pioneer country in the region, and one of the first in the world, in terms of creating National Parks. Today it adds 46 Protected Areas and the Administration of #NationalParks continues to work with the commitment to double its surface, developing the present and planning the future in a sustainable way.
