In 1997 a national Earth Charter Project was created in Argentina to help generate dialogue about the Earth Charter draft. In 1998 the Earth Charter was discussed during the third Indigenous Peoples, Mother Earth and Spirituality meeting on Education, Traditional Knowledge and Sustainable Practices held in San Carlos de Bariloche, Argentina. In August the presentation of the Earth Charter Project in Argentina took place in a public forum with the attendance of approximately 250 people. It was organized by the NGOs Acuario XXI Century and Ala Plastica, among other institutions.
 
During 1998 and 1999 a series of meetings were organized to collect Argentina’s vision of the Earth Charter. Also, representatives from Acuario XXI participated in the Earth Charter Value Training Workshop held in Costa Rica in May 1999.

After the launch of the Earth Charter in 2000 activities in Argentina have slowed down.

Argentina People and Nature is at present using the Earth Charter as the fundamental base for all their projects. They have disseminated the Charter as much as possible within individuals and educational institutions, among others. In fact, they have done a wonderful dissemination job in rural and local schools through the publication of their magazine “Verde y Algo más” (Green and more) and from their Botanical Garden.

For 2009 they have planned a workshop for businesses and the possibility of including the Charter within the official agenda of the province of Cordoba is alive.
