The region possesses an outstanding biological diversity particularly noteworthy in vegetable species, many of which have economic value for humanity. For example, some 1.600 species of vascular plants (including 374 grass species) have been identified in the Argentine pampas, 2.500 (400 grasses) in Uruguay, and 3.000 (400 grasses) in Brazil’s Campos Sulinos.
The diversity of vertebrates is also high. For example 69 species of mammals (belonging to 17 families and 19 genera) 211 bird species, 31 reptiles, 23 amphibians, and 49 species of continental fish have been recorded in the Argentine pampas. On the other hand there are deep cultural roots gathered together in the figure of the “gaucho” (a man bound to the traditional cattle activities of the pampas.)
