Many migratory birds begin their odyssey in the North American prairies, ending in the wintering sites of the Pampas grasslands. Also called the ‘Southern Cone’, these grasslands naturally extend across the entire territory of Uruguay, and parts of Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay. Despite being of global importance for biodiversity, around 60% of their area has been replaced with other land uses.
The ongoing project “Inter-jurisdictional System of Coastal-Marine Protected Areas” (ISCMPA-Argentina) seeks to circumvent the barriers that prevent the establishment of a system of coastal–marine protected areas (ISCMPA) that envisages conservation of biodiversity as a whole for the entire coastal-marine ecosystem of Argentina.
