Tucuman | The Santa Ana forest reserve in the Yungas was declared a new provincial park
The government of the province of Tucumán made progress in the recategorization of the Santa Ana Protected Natural Area, of 14,500 hectares, as a provincial park
It arises from the effort in the negotiations between the Tucuman Ministry of Productive Development, provincial legislators and the Rewilding Argentina Foundation. It is one of the largest protected natural areas in Tucumán, as well as the southernmost protected area in Yunga.
The regulation, which declares this territory of 14,500 hectares as a "protected natural area", also provides for different actions aimed at "achieving the gradual recomposition of the biodiversity of the ecosystem of Las Yungas."
Bordering the Aconquija National Park and located in what was the Santa Ana Reserve, created in 1972 on the land of an old sugar mill, this new Provincial Park thus increased the protection of one of the southernmost and most important portions of the mountain forests. or yungas, including highly threatened sectors of foothill forest.
"The environmental project also contemplates the ecological restoration of the place, through the reintroduction of extinct species and the recovery of threatened species, in order to recompose the wildlife of the Yungas ecosystem and favor the biodiversity corridor that forms the two protected areas" , indicated from the NGO Rewilding Argentina.
In addition, the new park provides for public use of the area, which will require planning the development of nature tourism infrastructure and will provide new development opportunities for neighboring communities.
The unit is located in the southwest of the province of Tucumán, covering part of the lands that belonged to the former Santa Ana Sugar Mill, located in the Aguilares area.
Biogeographically it is located in the Yungas, extending over relatively low and gently broken mountain ranges further apart from Aconquija, leaning against the Cumbres de Santa Ana, constituting part of the Chico River basin.

Unusual finding: a pine forest in excellent condition emerges after 6,000 years buried under the ice
In the world there are millions of forests. Some are close to urban centers, others in remote and inaccessible places, but they all fulfill a key role: maintain the balance of the planet. They are literally the lung of the earth. When talking about a new forest, the first thing that comes to mind is usually reforestation, a recent plantation or the recovery of an area razed by fire. But this discovery is on another way. It is not a forest sown recently. It is an old forest, which was there for thousands of years, buried under the ice. And now, with the thaw caused by global warming, he has emerged again.
