Environmental policy and administrative management

The territory ind Ujarr gena s account for the most part with forest cover, this for reasons of change of use, ground mainly has started this process starting with the d each of the 90s when increased the areas of pastures for cattle. By nature, it is a very poor community, he has a very low Social development index. There are lack of resources econ micos for b basic needs, residents have been allowed to enter a non-ind genas for the extraction of natural resources, situation which is currently a problem severe within the territory. Ind territory Ujarr gena s is located to the North of the Cant n of Buenos Aires, its location geogr fica sit at a highly windy area, with four very marked dry months and pr practices antropog adverse mechanical, which is endangering areas of sheets, P ramos and primary forests by persistent incidence of forest fires. As consequence of these forest fires are extensive areas degraded, which increase the loss of soil p, harm seriously basins hidrogr farms in the area, coupled with this soil lose its potential agr tail and there are areas with steep slopes completely eroded. This is why the ADIRI Ujarr s aims to directly decrease the tica problem that affects both its own settlers and settlements adjacent to the ind gena territory. This arises as a general objective of the project the preserve and recover areas degraded in areas highly vulnerable to forest fires within the territory Ind gena, on the basis of the principle that this activity is highly complex and costly econ thermically; Therefore, that is intended to make this project as a pilot scheme replicable in the future. In addition the project has a number of strategies that come all to form a greater concept of n reforestaci and conservation. For this purpose are based on the principle that conservation can improve the family income, and is this principle on which is based the replicability of this pilot scheme. Conserve and recover degraded areas in areas highly vulnerable to forest fires within the territory Ind gena Ujarr s of Buenos Aires. Objectives spec graphics 1. Establish a reforestaci n with native timber species typical of the area in a regi n highly degraded by a total of 30 areas hect. 2.Establecer a reforestaci n with fruit species that allows an income econ mico to short and medium term, for a total of 10 areas hect. 3.Establecer windbreaks in sectors with a high incidence of forest fires. 4.Establecer agroforestry systems through better use of the areas of crops, improving the forest cover of the regi n in at least 10,000 trees, subjected to the program of payment for environmental services in SAF mode. 5.proteger through the program of payment for environmental services a rea of 600 has. natural forests owned by the ADIRI Ujarr s of Buenos Aires. 6.Establecer a program of control and monitoring of forest fires. Activities to achieve the results 1. Acquire n of equipment and materials for the nursery in the first month should be quote by the ADIRI Ujarr s equipment required for the processing of n in forest nurseries, he has support log plastic of an external consultant (forest Regent) for the selection of equipment and training of the nurseries n. The ADIRI Ujarr s offers three people in charge of the nurseries (forest, fruit trees, etc.) 2 Select n site for the establishment of nurseries are available one month to select an area by the ADIRI Ujarr s, which must meet the conditions ptimas for hauling, care and control of pests on plants. ADIRI Ujarr s offer of three officers for such work, part-time each. 3 wood nurseries n from the second month of executed the project started construction work n from forest nurseries, by three persons selected by the ADIRI Ujarr s. So has sketches of construcci n of the nursery which specify sizes and requirements, this work is the responsibility of the forest Regent; This in turn should sign the nursery in the College of engineers Agr nomos, for their respective certification n. Posterior to the processing facilities of the forestry nursery n bag filling chores, start germinaci n seed, transplant and care of vegetative material. So they have a total of six months, which should be the total of the vegetative material required by the different projects of reforestaci n. 4 regenciales and inventory reports there is a Regency forest contract signed for three years for the component of agroforestry systems and another contract for six months to the nursery with a forest Regent at the beginning of the project. From the moment in which the nursery is must carry out month-to-month a regencial report that must be submitted to the College of engineers Agr nomos. This work is the responsibility of the Regent in charge of the work. The three officials in charge of the nursery must submit the bit Cora to the Regent to charge delivered them to take control of the activities of the nursery and the stock of plants. 5 Select sites to reforest n are selected areas by site conditions to start a process of VRA environmental n, which be in charge of executing forest technician of the project of reforestaci n t, both for the plantaci n, as for curtains windbreaks, fruit trees and agroforestry systems. This activity must be started from the first month and culminate in the second month. Recommendations and sketches, which be n delivered to the landholders who start n the reforestaci n in tale est n pl ntulas ready to be carried to the field are given. 6 seeding of pl ntulas in prior
