description	This article analyzes the role of scientific knowledge in contemporary environmental conflicts. Specifically, it addresses a conflict regarding the reform of the forest protection law in the province of Córdoba, Argentina. Understanding the cognitive, political, social, cultural and economic struggle between parties in favour and against the law reform as a “total social process”, the aim is to analyze the way in which scientific knowledge can be socially produced as a political instrument for claiming and demanding participation in matters such as environment “destruction”, “sustainable exploitation” or “conservation”. The conclusion shows that this particular conflict is part of a broader struggle on the legitimacy of a social and environmental crisis in Córdoba. As a necessary asset, science is not enough. Scientific knowledge is translated into other forms of language in order to communicate the social importance of the forest and the necessity to stand against interests that would put it in danger.
