MINAVERRY, Clara María. Strong or weak Sustainability? Environmental and ecosystem legal protection of wetlands. The case of the District of Lobos, Province of Buenos Aires, Argentina. Derecho glob. Estud. sobre derecho justicia [online]. 2020, vol.6, n.16, pp.201-226.  Epub 27-Ene-2021. ISSN 2448-5136.  https://doi.org/10.32870/dgedj.v6i16.350.

The purpose of this paper is, in the first place, to review regulations valid for the District of Lobos, in the Province of Buenos Aires, Argentina, in order to contrast them with valid legislation of other countries of Latin America. After this regulatory analysys we will state in which doctrinaire category they will be included: “Super strong”, “Strong” and “Weak” Sustainability. In the second place, we will analyze the results of surveys conducted in urban population of the District of Lobos, and the information provided by the interviews of key informants. Finally, we could state that people with lower educational levels and the older ones have less interest and concern about environmental problems. Also, the progress of regulation is incipient because there are scarce environmental public policies in connection with the Lagoon of Lobos, despite of representing an important economic source of funding provided by tourism.
