The document describes the National Observatory of Land Degradation and Desertification in Argentina. It was established in 2011 by various institutions to monitor land degradation, support decision making, and promote best practices. The Observatory aims to assess bio-physical and socio-economic impacts, generate indicators for the UNCCD, maintain geospatial data and maps, conduct inter-institutional projects, and disseminate information through a public website. It serves as a model of collaboration between government and research organizations in Argentina to address land degradation issues.
