Resumen
Las áreas naturales protegidas (ANP) son fundamentales para la conservación de la biodiversidad y las establecidas por los gobiernos cubren a nivel mundial más del 12% de la superficie terrestre. Existen ANP bajo protección privada (APP) que también contribuyen a la conservación, no obstante, su cobertura exacta es desconocida. A través de un convenio entre el Ministerio de Ambiente de la Nación y la Red Argentina de Reservas Naturales Privadas se generó una base de datos de las APP del país. El objetivo de este trabajo es presentar sus resultados y realizar una primera caracterización. Se analizó el número y superficie de las APP por provincia y ecorregión, el año de creación, reconocimiento, perfil de propietarios, actividades y prácticas realizadas. La Argentina cuenta en total con 336 APP que cubren 916.627 ha, lo que representa un 0,33% del país. La provincia de Misiones y la ecorregión Selva Paranaense poseen la mayor cantidad, mientras que Mendoza y la ecorregión Monte de Mesetas y Llanuras la mayor superficie privada protegida. Personas físicas son los principales propietarios, pero las reservas pertenecientes a empresas son las más extensas. El 60,4% de las APP no cuentan con ningún instrumento legal de reconocimiento. El 13,2% practica exclusivamente conservación y el 68% lo combina con otras actividades. Este trabajo pone en valor el avance de la conservación voluntaria en la Argentina y supotencial. Es importante considerar diferentes modelos de conservación donde los dueños de la mayor parte del territorio se comprometan en la protección de la biodiversidad que albergan.
Voluntary conservation: updating and characterization of privately protected areas in Argentina. Natural protected areas (NPA) are fundamental for biodiversity conservation and those established by governments cover more than 12% of the earth’s land surface. However, there are also privately protected areas (PPA) that also contributes to conservation, although their exact coverage is unknown. Through an agreement between the National Ministry of Environment and the Argentine Network of Private Natural Reserves, a database of the country’s PPA was created. The aim of this paper is to present these results and make a first characterization. The number and surface area of PPA by province and ecoregion, year of creation, recognition, the profile of owners, activities and practices carried out were analyzed. Argentina has 336 PPA covering 916,627 ha, which represents 0.33% of the country. The province of Misiones and the Selva Paranaense ecoregion have the largest number, while Mendoza and Monte de Mesetas y Llanuras ecoregion have the largest private protected area. Individuals are the main owners, but PPA belonging to companies are the largest. 60.4% of the PPA does not have any legal instrument of recognition. A total of 13.2% practice only conservation, and 68% combine it with other activities. This work highlights the progress of voluntary conservation in Argentina and its potential. It is important to consider different conservation models where private landowners, owners of most of the territory, are committed to the protection of the biodiversity they harbor.
