  • Upper Paraná Atlantic Forest Program
    Upper Paraná Atlantic Forest Program The Upper Paraná Atlantic Forest – locally called Selva Misionera or Paranaense - is one of the world’s most biodiverse subtropical ecoregions. Spread across three countries – Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay – these forests are one of the planet’s most threatened areas as a result of past and present deforestation. Over the last decade, Fundación Vida Silvestre Argentina (FVSA), WWF’s associate organization, has been working towards the conservation of the forests of the Misiones Province. These forests –located in northeastern Argentina- are one of the largest forest blocks that still remains, and one of the few that still houses a jaguar population. From the heart of the jungle, FVSA-WWF’s office in Puerto Iguazú, just a few kilometers away from the impressive scenario offered by the Iguazú Falls, promotes conservation and sustainable development actions. Some of these undertakings are the Misiones Green Corridor and the Biodiversity Vision, a planning tool for the ecoregion. The Upper Paraná Atlantic Forest (UPAF) covers The Misiones Green Corridor was singled out in most part of the Misiones Province in northeastern the Biodiversity Vision as the most important area Argentina, and expands through the south of where to focus local actions with regional impact.

Earlier indices developed for Argentina (Velázquez, 2008; 2010a) provided basically two dimensions: a) socio-economic and b) environmental. Socio-economic dimension embraces such indicators as education, health and housing, while environmental one considers three aspects: nature-based recreational resources, socially constructed recreational resources and environmental problems.

  • Portuguese Or Portuñol? Language Contact in Misiones, Argentina
    Journal of Linguistic Geography (2017) 4,47–64. © Cambridge University Press 2017 ORIGINAL RESEARCH doi:10.1017/jlg.2016.12 Portuguese or Portuñol? Language contact in Misiones, Argentina John M. Lipski* The Pennsylvania State University In the extreme northeastern Argentine province of Misiones, vernacular Portuguese is the primary language of many rural communities, in bilingual contact with Spanish. The present study examines data from Misiones Portuguese and Spanish for evidence of morphosyntactic convergence in the absence of formal schooling in either language or sociolinguistic pressures to produce canonical varieties. Data from a corpus of vernacular Misiones Portuguese and the results of a speeded translation task reveal that even in this sociolinguistically permissive environment bilingual speakers maintain distinct morphosyntactic systems for Portuguese and Spanish (exemplified by nominal plural marking and first-person plural verbal inflection). The data also suggest that bilingual contact alone does not yield the degree of convergence required for the hybrid Portuguese-Spanish morphosyntaxis that has been reported, for example, in northern Uruguay. 1.
