Yacutinga Lodge is not only an ecotourism undertaking in the Argentine Forest.

We believe that there is a World-level need to preserve Nature while using it to generate economic resources.

The ecotourism-based activity is one of our economic keystones; yet, our sustainable use project encompasses other areas. Thanks to the recent building of the Yacutinga Biological Station and to the counseling on environmental matters by friends and institutions, we are starting several programs based on the sustainable use of our Natural Reserve area.

The potential of the natural systems to be transformed and destroyed is confirmed at an unprecedented scale in our country. Indeed, technological development leads to environmental changes throughout large areas in a short period of time. The level of destruction and the transformation capacity is only comparable with the lack of knowledge of the working mechanisms of the ecosystems affected, which is basic information when conservation strategies are to be implemented.

Therefore, research development is a priority of the different groups present in the areas affected, with the aim to collect valuable information to understand how ecosystems work, make predictions and make decisions for the future. Thus we will be able to establish a conservationist and sustainable development perspective of human activities in these fragile landscapes.

These facts and contexts are the basis for the creation and implementation of Yacutinga biological station (E-Bio), which is run by  Yacutinga Lodge.
