Natural Heritage in Danger. Native Forests, New and Old Forms of Extractive Activities and Sustainability from the Perspective of a New Generation of Scientists, Activists and Entrepreneurs in Argentina

Los Alerces National Park, recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2017, faces significant threats from extractive activities and deforestation driven by the commodity boom (2000–2014). This study highlights how legislative changes and heritage site requirements provide a legal framework for sustainable land use, reconciling conservation with economic development. It proposes an agro-silvo-pastoral culture that balances scenic value, biodiversity, and sustainability while expanding protected areas within the Andean-North Patagonian Biosphere Reserve. The research combines analysis of legislative shifts with insights from scientists, activists, and entrepreneurs to address conflicts in territorial management.
