National Parks Exchange Program

This program will be primarily focused on improving the visitor experience, its sustainability and project management, developing public and educational programming, advisory for national park staff, rangers and guides.
This program will expand for two to three years since its design to the final reporting stage.
It will include travel to national parks or protected areas in Argentina and national parks or protected areas in the United States.
The main local partner is the APN (Argentina's National Parks Administration), although other partners could also be included.
The Embassy together with the APN and the grantee will select up to five national parks or protected areas in Argentina that will be the focus of this exchange program.
