The objective of this project is to provide the Ministry of Ecology, Renewable Natural Resources and Tourism (Ministerio de Ecología, Recursos Naturales Renovables y Turismo) of Argentina’s Misiones Province with organizational supports for biodiversity information in Misiones. This will bolster the local capability to manage biodiversity in inland forests on the Atlantic coast.
Under this project, a database will be created and training will be provided on producing, collecting and managing data. Also, a strategy will be formulated for accessing and spreading information. The capacity to generate, collect and manage biodiversity data will be enhanced as well as the accessibility to that data.
A database is being created on plants and animals in Misiones Province to better protect species in the province. Environmental education is also being provided to children with using the database.
