The Federal System of Protected Areas (SIFAP), which includes representatives of all the Provinces, the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires, the Ministry of Environment and Sustainable Development of the Nation and the Administration of National Parks, have developed a “Common Action Plan 2020-2022 ”, which has been formally submitted to the Federal Environment Council (COFEMA) for consideration and endorsement. - PDO Indicator 4: 9,414,800 tons of Forest Carbon have been protected as a result of the Project (90.5% of the final goal of the Project); 6,187,956 tons through the creation and improvement in the management of the El Impenetrable National Park (PNEI), and 3,226,844 tons through the commissioning of some subprojects for Sustainable and Demonstrative Use. In relation to the advances in the components of the project: - Component 1. Core Protected Areas. The Southern Patagonia Coastal Marine Interjurisdictional Park (PIMCPA), Copo National Park (NP), El Impenetrable NP and the Patagonia NP management plans have been completed. The contracts to develop the management plans for the Copo Provincial Park (PP), Loro Hablador PP, Fuerte Esperanza PP, Pampa del Indio PP and Makenke Marine Interjurisdictional Park (MIP) have recently been granted to firms. On the civil works front, construction of PIMCPA buildings is almost completed, having reached a progress of 95%. However, the construction is temporally suspended due to mobility restrictions imposed by provincial governments considering the COVID-19 pandemic. The construction of Makenke MIP's headquarters is moving as planned and has reached a 36% progress. A new occupational health and safety protocol is being applied as requested by the authorities in response to the pandemic. The construction of two “Operative Centers" for the Copo and Loro Hablador PP, located in Santiago del Estero and Chaco Provinces respectively, have reached 6.8% progress (mainly explained by the work site set-up and mobilization of machinery). These works have also been suspended due to COVID-19 mobility restrictions. Technical specifications are being prepared for other procurement processes (vehicles, fire and control equipment, a boat, biodiversity monitoring, public use equipment). - Component 2. Conservation Corridors in the Gran Chaco and the Patagonian Steppe. The Strategic Plans of the Dry and Humid Chaco Corridors were developed and submitted to Santiago del Estero and Chaco authorities. However, institutionalization of such plans (I.e. through law or other legal means) is still pending. The contract for the design of the Arid Patagonia Spatial Strategy was recently granted to a firm. The Sustainable Use Subproject (SUS) PPI-05-18 "Towards sustainable livestock in the Corridor" in the Pampa del Indio node and the SUS PPI-06- 18 "Algarroba Honey" are already completed. Additionally, another 9 SUS are under execution, and another 4 have been approved but their implementation has not begun yet due to delays posed by the pandemic (those are: COPO 13-19 “Building together”, COPO 14-19 “Proposal to diversify production”, PNCH 19- 19 “Clever livestock management to recover grasslands in central chaco region” and the PPI 20-19 “Algarroba Honey II”). Regarding the Demonstration Subprojects (DS), PPI-07-18 "Promotion of meliponiculture" is completed; PNEI- 15-19 "Demonstration Subproject of Tourism” is being executed, and PNCH 18-19 “Natural grasslands livestock management” is approved. The SUS and SD currently cover a total area of 89,462 hectares (40% of the final goal of 226,376 ha). - Component 3. Collaboration for the Conservation of Corridors. The SIFAP Action Plan reviewed by the provinces has been elevated by the President of the SIFAP Executive Committee to COFEMA and its approval by the latter is still pending. The consultancy to develop the federal protected areas system website is completed and available at www.sifap.gob.ar - Component 4. Project Management, Monitoring and Evaluation. The amount of Carbon stored in aerial biomass protected in the Chaco forests areas remained the same than those reported in the previous mission (9,414,800T). The number of direct beneficiaries has increased to 1,150 (out of which 41% are women) by the trainings in meliponiculture management, sustainable livestock management and geographic information systems. Finally, a Financial Management specialist and a Procurement Specialist have been hired and Terms of Reference have been developed to hire a Monitoring and Evaluation Specialist, a Dry Chaco Corridor Specialist (Santiago del Estero) and Copo Node Subproject extensionist. mpaTable Multiphase Programmatic Approach (MPA) Status mpaTableBody Risks Systematic Operations Risk-rating Tool Risk Category Rating at Approval Previous Rating Current Rating Political and Governance Moderate Moderate Moderate Macroeconomic Moderate Substantial High 6/10/2020 Page 2 of 9 Public Disclosure Copy The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Rural Corridors and Biodiversity (P114294) Sector Strategies and Policies Moderate Moderate Moderate Technical Design of Project or Program Moderate Moderate Moderate Institutional Capacity for Implementation and Substantial Substantial Substantial Sustainability Fiduciary Moderate Moderate Moderate Environment and Social Substantial Moderate Moderate Stakeholders Substantial Substantial Substantial Other -- -- High Overall Substantial Substantial Substantial Results PDO Indicators by Objectives / Outcomes To increase the protection of vulnerable natural areas and conserve biological diversity within the IN00847516 ►Areas brought under enhanced biodiversity protection (ha) (Hectare(Ha), Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 0.00 552,714.00 648,286.00 882,000.00 Date 15-Sep-2015 02-Dec-2019 11-May-2020 30-Nov-2020 The value reported for this indicator has not been updated, as the methodology to measure it is under revision. This is a proxy indicator that measures biodiversity protection as a result of the World Bank operation through formally converting an area into a protected area and establishing a functioning management system; or, improving the management effectiveness of an existing protected area. These improvements can be achieved through the development/update of the protected areas' management plans, the acquisition of equipment, and/or the construction of infrastructure, depending on local needs. The progress reported corresponds to the creation of and management improvements in two National Parks (El Impenetrable and Patagonia); in addition to the management improvements in the Patagonia- Austral Coastal-Marine Park. Additionally, this indicator captures the area put under enhanced biodiversity protection through the implementation sustainable Development Subprojects and Demonstration Subprojects (32.896ha, as of March 18, 2019).

  • Ichthyological Ecoregions of Argentina(*)
    1 ICHTHYOLOGICAL ECOREGIONS OF ARGENTINA(*) Hugo L. López1,2, Cecilia C. Morgan1 & Marcelo J. Montenegro1x 1 División Zoología Vertebrados, Museo de La Plata, Paseo del Bosque s/nº, 1900 La Plata, Argentina. ProBiota. 2 Comisión de Investigaciones Científicas de la Provincia de Buenos Aires (CIC). 3 Instituto de Limnología “Dr. Raúl A. Ringuelet” (ILPLA), CONICET-UNLP. INTRODUCTION The Argentine Republic is situated in the southernmost portion of the American continent, occupying over 2,785,600 km2 not including the Antarctic territory. The country ranges from subtropical areas (21º46’S) to subantarctic regions (55º03’S), extending latitudinally over about 4,000 km. It possesses significant latitudinal and altitudinal variation (33º of latitudinal range, and heights from Bajo de San Julián in Santa Cruz province at 105 m below sea level, up to Mt. Aconcagua, 6,959 m over sea level), as well as two gradients of physical variability, extending in north-south and east-west directions. Owing to these features, the country presents a wide range of climates and soil types, being one of the countries with greatest diversity of biogeographical units (Lean et al., 1990, In: Bertonatti & Corcuera, 2000). There are four main hydrographic systems: Río de la Plata basin, the Atlantic and Pacific drainages, and several endorrheic systems. Within these basins, the ichthyofaunistic assemblage is well represented, with different magnitude in accordance with the different taxonomic groupings and regions considered. From an ichthyogeographic standpoint, and according to the works of Ringuelet (1975) and Arratia et al. (1983), Argentina is included in the Brasilic and Austral Subregions. The first of these is represented by two domains: the Andean Domain, comprising the southernmost portion of Titicaca Province, and the Paranensean Domain, including part of Alto Paraná and Paranoplatensean Provinces.
