Description

Argentina launched the National Conservation Program for Native Forests on 19 September 1940. The program identified endangered forest regions and established guidelines for sustainable logging. Reforestation campaigns were developed to restore damaged ecosystems. The initiative encouraged cooperation between provinces and environmental agencies. Its work laid foundations for later forestry legislation. The program’s creation marked an important advance in protecting Argentina’s natural resources.
