Up to 20 SUVs illegally enter protected areas in Neuquén mountain range

In Argentina, illegal entry of 4x4 convoys into the Batea Mahuida Natural Protected Area has been reported. Local authorities say groups of SUVs, including tourists from Brazil, access restricted zones such as El Arco and Laguna Corazón, causing environmental damage. Lorenzo Lorente, president of the Villa Pehuenia Volunteer Firefighters Association, stated that caravans of up to 20 vehicles operate and avoid official rescue services to evade detection. This year, no access control has been implemented at the site, worsening the problem.
