Our main goal is to achieve biodiversity conservation and to
sustainably manage the natural resources of the Lower Paraná Delta

The Paraná Delta wetlands are key for the wellbeing
of the 14 million people living in Buenos Aires.

Among their benefits, wetlands mitigate flood risks,
reduce carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere
and act as the river’s natural water filters.

Did you know that well conserved wetlands outperform forests
in the capture and retention of atmospheric CO2, and
therefore are the world’s leading net primary production ecosystems?

The predominance of California Bulrush
(Schoenoplectus californicus) and Club
Rush (Scirpus giganteus) at Reserva Achalay
holds incoming tidal surges of water and
releases them back into the Delta slowly,
thereby mitigating flood risk.
