The impulse of Estanislao Zeballos to generate ecological awareness in our country. Today the day of the tree is celebrated in Argentina. The countries established different dates to raise awareness about the importance of trees for the life of the planet. What was the origin of this celebration in Argentina? ...
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.

Burned wood: the Japanese technique that beautifies and protects the material
Elegant, ecological and resistant: the wood treated with the millenary technique called Yakisugi challenges the weather and the passage of time. In the world of design and construction, a Japanese ancestral technique is gaining prominence. This is the Yakisugi (also known as Shou Sugi Ban), a method that consists in burning the surface of the wood to make it more resistant and attractive. Although it may seem contradictory, exposing wood to fire gives natural protection against moisture, insects and deterioration over time.
