The National Parks Administration reports and has initiated legal actions following the viralization of records showing the driver vandalizing rocks within the protected area of Nahuel Huapi.
The National Parks Administration (APN) formalized a complaint against a truck driver for graffiti on Route 237, after various audiovisual records capturing acts of vandalism on the natural heritage were made public.
The incident took place on a section of the national corridor that crosses the Nahuel Huapi National Park, where the driver of the large vehicle damaged rock formations with graffiti, affecting the integrity of the protected landscape.
The judicial action, driven by the authorities of the organization, arises as an immediate response to the dissemination of images on social networks.
In these pieces of evidence, both the truck and the individual responsible for the inscriptions on the stones can be identified. According to the institution, this type of behavior constitutes a direct violation of Law 22.351 (National Parks Law), which guarantees the conservation of ecosystems and cultural resources under federal jurisdiction.
The legal team of the APN presented the corresponding evidence for the federal justice to formally identify the offender and determine the pertinent sanctions.
The organization emphasized that these actions not only represent an aesthetic damage to the environment but also imply a negative environmental impact that requires specific remediation processes to restore the natural state of the intervened surfaces.
With this complaint against a truck driver for graffiti on Route 237, the authorities seek to set a firm precedent against vandalism in conservation areas.
From the Nahuel Huapi National Park, visitors and transporters are reminded that the care of protected areas is a shared responsibility, and a “zero tolerance” policy will be maintained against acts that threaten the biodiversity and scenic beauty of the Argentine Patagonia.
