- Abstract
Through an ethnoecological approach, 24 interviews to key informants were made in Magdalena and Punta Indio districts, Rio de la Plata region, Argentina. The aim was collecting and evaluating junqueros and leñateros local narratives regarding environmental change and its impact on their daily lives. The extractive activities: fuelwood and rushes collection, were very important in this area, although they have declined nowadays, especially the latter one. Two events have influenced the activity: oil spill and changes in production systems. As a result of the establishment of the "Parque Costero del Sur", a biosphere reserve, modifications in the fuelwood activity were registered. However, unlike the rushes collection, the abundance of wood and the reformulation of selection practices and strategies have made it possible to continue this activity, despite the changes in the study area. Each activity by the key informants influenced the narratives about their assessment of the environmental change, since few changes were in common among them and recognized in relation to climate and wildlife.
