| Sumario: | Groves of Prosopis trees (algarrobo) and broom bushes (retamo) are not only used as wood and firewood for heating, housing construction, cooking, making bread (patay), or for livestock fodder. The purpose of this paper is to reconstruct those differences in forest use that can be expressed in differences of extraction scales and intensities of use, as well as in particular social organizations and ways of linking social actors and the forest. A little over a century ago, activities that produce extraction of wood and firewood appeared for mining, to supply the nearby cities, and to sustain the expansion of wine (via rail). Then, during the twentieth century, the use of wax from broom brushes increased. Nowadays, the forest is a necessary source of resources for local inhabitants, and at the same time, it includes valuable ecosystems that should be protected. It has been sought to regulate through tools such as the Native Forests Law (OTBN, the Spanish acronym). It is presented and discussed the works carried out in participatory mapping and environmental history, some of which have been continued in this paper, especially regarding the definition of forest units and problems with forest use over time. In this case, the results obtained from the participatory mapping carried out in 4 communities from the area of Bermejo Valley are discussed, with the extraction of retama wax and firewood, the most extensive activities that cover an approximate area of 102,725 hectares. |
