In 2022, Chevron Argentina scientists created a site plant guide. Guides like this one can be used to set environmental baselines. They give valuable information to researchers, planners and others working with natural resources.

By the end of 2023, the team had identified about 230 species. These included over 60 plants and over 160 types of animals.
