Conservation Plan subsidized by the Forestry Law
The main objective of the Ushuaia Botanical Garden Conservation Plan, subsidized by the Forestry Law, is the in situ conservation of the native forest and associated flora in an area of 10 hectares.
This plan includes sustainable management of the area with low environmental impact, environmental education activities, promotion of community involvement, and improvement of the quality of urban life through contact with nature. In addition, it seeks to scientifically document the species and encourage public use of the garden as a space for recreation and learning.
