Resumen
GROSFELD, Javier; CHAUCHARD, Luis y GOWDA, Juan H. Can we sustainably manage the native forest of North Patagonia?. Ecol. austral [online]. 2019, vol.29, n.1, pp.156-163. ISSN 1667-782X.
The native forests of Northern Patagonia have a long history of human use, being one of the most studied ecosystems of Argentina. However, there are few examples of sustainably managed native forests. We propose that this is mainly due to the lack of political will from regional authorities, forest administration agencies, technicians and researchers in assisting forest owners to implement current legislation. Historically, forest owners have been ignored by an administrative system that has not considered their needs as well as by a scientific-technologic system that not used their empirical knowledge to develop realistic management packages. We consider that, even though the sustainable management of Patagonian native forests seems to be technically feasible, its implementation will depend on the will of the public sector to generate better conditions for an intersectoral collaboration that integrates different kinds of knowledge.
