The National Parks Administration of Argentina (Spanish: Administración de Parques Nacionales) is a public agency in charge of maintaining the network of national parks, created in 1934 to preserve the biological diversity and the cultural resources of the country.[1][2][3]
It is managed by the Secretariat of the Interior.
History
[edit]The administration was established in 1934 by the federal law Nº 12 103/34 as the National Parks Department, together with creating Argentina's second national park, Iguazú. The first one, Del Sur, now known as Nahuel Huapi, preceded the department's creation by 12 years.
