|||
|
||||
| General Description |
The landscape is typically mountainous with important influences from the last glaciations, dominated by the Andes Mountains in the western areas and Sub-Andean plains and plateaus eastward. In the mountain area the presence of large bodies of water is highlighted such as the lakes: Nahuel Huapi, Lácar, Traful, Mascardi, Gutierrez, Rivadavia, Puelo, Futalaufquen, among others, and a network of drainage of high density in wide alluvial plains and with various levels of terraces. The biosphere reserve is comprised of: • Protected areas of national jurisdiction and domain, run by the National Parks Administration. These are: National Park Reserve and National Lanin; National Park and Nahuel Huapi National Reserve, National Park Arrayanes; National Park and Lake Puelo National Reserve and National Park Reserve and National Alerces. • Territories of jurisdiction and/or jurisdiction and mastery of the Province of Black River • Territories of jurisdiction and/or jurisdiction and domain of the Chubut Province. • Lands of jurisdiction of the Municipalities of El Bolson in Rio Province Black • Lands of jurisdiction of the Municipalities of Esquel and Trevelin in Chubut Province |

| Brief description |
A wide range of scientists and technicians exist in the region, both in the natural sciences and the social sphere. This area is generating discussion forums and exchange related to local and regional issues. Regional institutions and other agencies of extra-regional research provide new knowledge for managing the area, with research, monitoring, training and extension, within areas of formal and informal education in relation to conservation and sustainable development. |
