In recent decades, global warming has intensified fires that have destroyed huge forested areas in various parts of the world. Argentina has not been exempted from this problem, nor has its province of Chaco. Therefore, this article attempts to give a geographical look at the issue of forest fires that occurred in nine departments in the east of this province during the period between 2015 and 2020. Through statistical analysis and georeferencing of information from different sources, the paper aims to identify the fire outbreaks that have been recorded in the study area described above and in that period of time, and characterize the current provincial management on the subject of fire risks. The production of cartography was made from the use of Qgis. In 2020, the region under analysis suffered a large number of fire outbreaks in rural areas that affected a little more than 60,000 hectares, destroying pastures, native and planted forests and, consequently, deteriorating soils, wildlife, and also damaging stubble cover and farmlands.

In the development of the so-called "Environmental Rule of Law", there is a very interesting feature which takes place directly based on the commitments assumed by judges: the value of human dignity in relation to the care of the environment. In relation to this, the propose of this paper is to demonstrate how in the recent case-law of the Supreme Court of Argentina, which is related to the human right to water and the protection of the hydrological resources, dignity is at the center of interpretive work and it also constitutes a guiding criterion in judicial decisionmaking.

This paper focuses the silencing of voices in news production in Posadas, Argentina (Primera Edición and Territorio Digital) and Porto Alegre, Brazil, (Zero Hora and Correio do Povo), and investigates the media coverage of 2003 until 2014, in relation to the construction of two hydroelectric plants on the border between both countries, Brazil and Argentina, on the Uruguay river. The analysis indicates the absence of the riverside dwellers' voices, who are affected by the project. Finally, the article stand up for the idea journalism makes a great contribution to the discussion of environmental complexity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

At present times, many countries demand quality and added value of the goods they trade. It implies knowledge and technology adaptation in order to obtain agricultural products that are competitive at the international markets. In this regard, Good Agricultural Practices and Social Responsibility regulations, with their certification systems, formally help to demonstrate this "good doing". The aim of this paper is to analyze and promote that Quality Management Systems implementation, particularly Good Agricultural Practices and Social Responsibility regulations, are complementary at being able to comply with the Environmental Law applied to the argentine agricultural area. Its importance focus in that protection, preservation and recognition of the right to a healthy environment before the Constitutional amendment in 1994, was included in the category of the implied rights mentioned in section 33. This was considered as a historical landmark, and was incorporated in the second chapter named "New rights and guarantees", recognized in section 41 including the right to a healthy, equilibrated, suitable to a human development rights, and this directly relates to other rights such as quality of life, development, health, property and information among other.

Protected areas are spaces where biodiversity is preserved. They are designed to maintain the balance in natural ecosystems, to protect the species developed in the area and to preserve natural resources, cultural and environmental services. The Parque Luro Reserve is a protected area located at the centre-east of the department of Toay, La Pampa Province. The purpose of the reserve is to protect a small area of calden forest. The aim of this paper is to analyze the vegetation pattern in the Parque Luro Reserve. To achieve this, two tasks were carried out: the identification and the characterization of the representative vegetation of the calden forest in Parque Luro. The description of the vegetation allows for the comparison and classification of different vegetation units. The survey of floristic composition established its spatial distribution in different sectors of the area of study. The quantitative methods applied were Braun Blanquet scale and Dansereau's scheme based on transects. In addition, the quantitative technique of nearest neighbor was used. Through this study, two dominant forms of distribution of the vegetation were distinguished, one associated with the calden open savannah and the other with a closed calden area with presence of shrubbery.

The rapid changes in the economic, political, social and technological fields during the last years have had a great impact on the way we do and think geography. This has favored the adoption of different approaches to this object of study from new theoretical and methodological conceptions. Consequently, the agenda of subjects and issues are integrated in school contents, which are included in the curricular designs that constitute an important support for the teaching practice as they are a tool that allows teachers to select, organize and sequence the contents to be taught in an annual plan. In the province of La Pampa, curricular design is based since 2006 on CBC (Basic Core Contents) developed by the National Ministry of Education and on the NAP (Priority Core Learning). To these basic contents we have to add the curricular materials of the Core Curriculum for Secondary School framed in the New Law of Education implemented in our province since 2010. This paper aims at analyzing the role of Geography in the curricular proposals designed for the Province of La Pampa, taking into account the following key concepts: environment, society and territorial organization.

The expansion of agriculture, the erosion and desertification of fertile soils, the spread of agrofuels, and the lack of food sovereignty are among the central environmental problems of this day and age. Many of the solutions to these contemporary ills seem to emerge from Agroecology, which stands as an opportunity for both sustainable food production and soil and biodiversity preservation. In this paper, the main principles of Agroecology are analyzed in order to examine the chances of their application to the province of La Pampa with a basis in the area of Catrilo.
