Hi
We are birders and go to Costenera Reserve at least once a week and have been to Ribera Norte and Vicente Lopez Reserves as well. What always disturbs me is the amount of garbage at the shoreline and in the marsh by the walkways at Costenera.
Does anyone know if there are any environmental programs in place to clean up the shores and waterways? In Canada there are many activities where everyone pitches in for an hour or so on a given day and picks up garbage. Last week we were out at the Tigre and it's also a dead tire graveyard.
At Ribera Norte we talked, as best we could, to some workers, presumably conservation officials, and made the suggestion that each person coming into the park be handed a garbage bag and pick up one bag of plastic bottles, etc. There is so much garbage it would problaby only take 5 minutes! He said this would absolutely not be allowed.
My Spanish is not that good (taking lessons) but it would be good to know if any conservation efforts are going on or who I could talk to.
Any comments? By the way, Argentina is a fabulous place for birding.
Thanks.
