Abstract

This chapter presents a summary of the current conservation status of Mar Chiquita Lake and Dulce River wetland, including three main sections. Firstly, a brief description of the values that support the conservation of this wetland and the legislation that provides its protected area condition are provided. Secondly, the environmental threats affecting the region are analyzed. It is concluded that water diversion and alteration of the hydrological regime, habitat alteration, changes in land use, and pollution are considered the main threats to the wetland that require priority consideration. Finally, the management difficulties and administration constraints related to the large size of the wetland are analyzed.
