The objectives of the Native Forests and Protected Areas Project for Argentina are to: a) help the Secretariat of Natural Resources and Human Environment prioritize its actions dealing with native forests; b) facilitate the development of an incentive and regulatory framework to encourage decision makers; both public and private, to more fully internalize within their decision making processes the full range of social costs and benefits associated with their decisions and actions affecting native forests; c) develop a plan for transforming the National Parks Administration into a world- class park management organization; and d) increase the environmentally sustainable level of tourism in four national parks. The project will have three components: a) generation and dissemination of research and information consisting of policy, legal and regulatory reform, a national inventory of native forests and establishment and operation of a related database; and applied research and studies to facilitate management and conservation of native forests and protected areas; b) protected areas comprised of the development of a plan for the modernization of the National Parks Administration and specific infrastructure development and management strengthening in four Patagonian Region parks; and c) project implementation.
