Abstract

NATURAL HERITAGE CONSERVATION POLICY IN ARGENTINA. The natural heritage is an irreplaceable resource, essential for the collective identity and necessary for society to enjoy it. Studing it allows the generation of adequate public policies for its conservation. The instruments must be generated at different scales and be assimilated by the social actors involved in the areas and by the community. The aim of this work was to analyze the conservation of natural heritage policy in Argentina. To achieved it, the current situation of biodiversity and geodiversity as part of the natural heritage was studied and the legal management instruments were characterized. Also, the creation of the provincial protected areas systems laws were analyzed. Those areas have the main function to protect this heritage. The results showed that in Argentina, the strategies are focused on the preservation, restoration and maintenance of biodiversity. Instead, geodiversity has an incipient development. The legal vacuum in the care of abiotic elements and the lack of updating in the existing environmental legislation are some problems that the country faces.
