Production for conservation | The Annual Meeting of the Protected Productive Landscape Network of the region will be held in Jujuy
Organized by the ProYungas Foundation and the Ledesma company, the annual Red PPP meeting will take place between November 27 and 29 in Calilegua, Jujuy.
References from more than 35 companies, civil society organizations, environmental authorities, representatives of international cooperation, academics and technicians will meet to share good practices, achievements and continue promoting the growth of the Protected Productive Landscape Program (PPP) in the North Large from Argentina and neighboring countries.
The PPP, an initiative created by ProYungas in 2010, is a territory management model that seeks to coherently integrate the production and conservation of nature in environments of high environmental value. Today the program includes more than 30 companies from Argentina, Chile, Paraguay and Bolivia, with a total area of about 2.5 million hectares, of which more than 36% are natural areas.
The meeting is framed in the project "Protected Productive Landscape in the Great North of Argentina", executed by the ProYungas Foundation, together with the partner institutions FSC and Hábitat & Desarrollo, co-financed by the European Union.

The Faculty of Art and Design (FAyD) of the National University of Misiones (UNaM) hosted the inauguration of the first edition of “Yvyvyrá: territory, matter and architecture”, an international workshop that promotes learning, experimentation and architectural design using wood and other materials typical of the biomes of the Atlantic Forest (Paranaense Forest) and the Humid Chaco.
They promote research in pine resins from the NEA
The forestry industry is one of the most important sectors in the economies of Misiones and Corrientes. Thousands of hectares of pine supply the paper, pulp, boards and sawmill industry. Pinus elliottii, one of the species established in the region, in addition to providing wood, is used to produce resin, a non-wood forest product with high demand in the chemical, pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries. In 2\024, resin extraction of approximately 52,6\0\0 tons was achieved from approximately 18,\0\0\0,\0\0\0 trees in production, generating income and jobs with high expansion potential.
