The origin of this date back to October 9, 1934 when it enacted the Law No. 12,103, creating the National Parks Directorate (now the National Park Administration), and the first two protected areas in Argentina (Nahuel Huapi National Park and Iguazú).
This led to the selection of residents in the area of \u200b\u200binfluence of the above parks to assume the responsibility to exercise the functions relating to the protection of valuable genetic diversity, richness and stunning landscape geomorphic phenomena, giving rise to the figure of "Baqueano Ranger." Subsequently creates the Rangers on 3 September 1987.
Thus, the image becomes an emblematic figure of fundamental importance in national parks. Its function is fulfilled through its permanent presence in the assigned branch office: making continuous land and water patrols, controlling activity of the inhabitants of the camps, dealers forest exploitation and extraction of firewood, monitor the activities of fishing, informing, advising and assisting in emergencies to visitors and residents, preventing and fighting fires and preventing and sanctioning violations.
worth noting that these people adopt a new way of life, which gives all and receives little sometimes, limited budgets that hinder their management, wages not commensurate with their responsibility to society, infrastructure deficiencies that hinder their work; working in remote locations (alone or in small groups of patrol), with poor or limited communication; and limited availability of support and reinforcement.
For all this, is of great importance to recognize their role as non-custodial status Rangers protected areas would be seriously compromised, leading ultimately to the loss of their biodiversity.
From volunteer group we belong, we stop to make this little tribute to all the rangers who make their contribution towards conservation from protected areas in Argentina.
