Estanislao Zeballos, an exponent of the 80th generation, established in the National Council of Education a special day dedicated to the tree. August 29, 1901 was the first time that tree day was held as a goal to highlight awareness about caring and protecting wooded surfaces. It is also intended to establish a policy to plant spaces in different spaces. Over time, it became a call to alert about climate change and indiscriminate felling. Another promoter of afforestation was Domingo Faustino Sarmiento who pointed out that ?the cultivation of trees suits a pastoral country like ours, because not only the Arboriculture joins livestock, but must be considered an indispensable complement. ?The destruction of the Native Argentina forests, for almost 13 years, is in force Law 26,331 of native forests. It is an indispensable tool to plan the use of these ecosystems allowing to balance the production and conservation of nature. The forest law changed the national scenario for the protection of native forests and made visible the problem and importance of the conservation of these ecosystems. In addition, it encouraged a progressive decrease in the annual deforestation rate in Argentina, stabilizing in recent years. However, since 2007, in Argentina 3,500,000 hectares of native forests were lost and with them all the associated benefits. 60% of the Argentine native forests are in the Chaco region, which occupies 11 of the 23 provinces of our country.
