Born in the town of Balnearia, next to the Mar de Chiquita lagoon, photographer Nino Gangretto has returned time and again to that biodiversity sanctuary to build the largest graphic document on migratory birds. The area called Ansenuza National Park contains the largest salt lagoon in South America and 66% of Argentina's migratory birds. 150 species of birds live there, including colorful flamingos. The wetland of almost one million hectares in the province of Cordoba is a stopover for migratory birds that go from one hemisphere to the other, and is also home to mammals, amphibians, reptiles and fish. Capybaras, red weasel, brown corzuela, collared peccary, Jaguarundi cat and Pampas gray fox are some of the hundreds of inhabitants of the wetland, where species at risk of extinction also take refuge, such as the land turtle, the river wolf and the maned guazú.
