During the satellite event a relict in the closed of San Ignacio, in Misiones, Argentina, Dr. Héctor Keller, researcher at Conicet-Unam and professor at the Faculty of Forest Sciences of Eldorado, presented in an opportunity for the IUCN a masterful lecture on the importance of this ecosystem. There are 19 endemic species in the department, and about 17 of them are in the municipality of San Ignacio. Eight are exclusive to the town, which makes this territory the richest in endemic vascular plants, explained the specialist, a renowned expert in the Apocynaceae family .Keller remarked that Misiones has a unique relic in the country, a small representation of the closed bioma that extends in Brazil, Paraguay and Bolivia: we have to take care of this ecosystem It occurs anywhere else in the country, he concluded.
