• I called the embassy and left a message rambling on about deforestation ....on the answer machine. The message said "IT'S A PUBLIC HOLIDAY" (for who? Argentina? because it wasn't in the UK.... and why are they cutting dow trees on a public holiday??? I reckon the answer machine message was wrong....but why? Hmmmmm. Lisa (UK)

• I spoke to a secretary. She said that she was not aware of the problem, Argentina needed to feed it\'s population, Europe was no longer buying sugar cane fron Argentina and Russia had not paid for it\'s wheat for quite a while so the country needed money for it\'s own people. she was very friendly, and told me that Argentina, had 10 per cent of it\'s nariural area protected by law? i told her to inquire and visit the greenpeace site on the web ¿What do you think of their response to your call?: very friendly but she had just taken shift and was unware of previous calling.

• I was told that the reason why Argentina is considering the destruction of this area of forest is because there is a huge rush of people coming into northern Argentina from neighboring countries, who are ill and starving. One of the main illness is the lack of intestinal flora which needs to be cured with milk products and this requires soya to feed the animals producing milk products.
  There were some contradictions in her comments but generally i was told that it was due to the poverty of the area and the mass people migration into the region. She also said that if Europe bought their products then their economy would go better and they wouldn\'t need to have such drastic measures for drastic situations.
  ¿What do you think of their response to your call?: The lady was very polite and explained the situation as best as she could. However i don\'t think my discussion will be taken into account. Aurélie Pringolliet (France)
