Sumario:The aim of the article is to analyze the articulation of the identification group “isleños” (“islanders”) in the production process of the Territorial Planning of Native Forests (TPNF) in the Buenos Aires Delta of the Paraná River in the period 2009-2014, carried out within the framework of the “Forest Law". To do so, primary data were produced through ethnographic techniques, complemented by documentary analysis of secondary sources. The article analyzes the struggles in the production of the first TPNF proposal (2009-2011), a Workshop held in the Buenos Aires Delta with the presence of local agents (October 2011) and the struggles in the production of the second (and final) TPNF proposal for the Delta Region (2012-2014). Finally, we highlight the political uses of local identity and reflect on the relevance of ethnographic studies in the production of environmental policies, even in cases like this where the potential conflict is solved through non-confrontational lanes.
