Butterfly is a typical fauna in Bantimurung Bulusaraung National Park. Its population are more and more decreased in nature due to decreased of feed plant of butterfly caused by logging and encroachment. In order to get effective and efficient method, research was conducted. Butterfly improvement research in Bantimurung Bulusaraung National Park  was carried out in the evaluation of plant growth. Planting trials were carried out in using the Randomysed Completely Block Design (RCBD) method with 4 levels of fertilization treatment, i.e control, 300gr fertilizer dosage for planting holes, 600 gr for planting holes and 900 g for planting holes. The results showed that the best dose of manure in Micromelum minutum 600 gr treatment gave the best value of number of leaves. Chlorosis made growth of the plants were not optimal due to fast drainase of the soil.

At Glen Canyon National Recreation Area (GCNRA) a number of disturbed sites require revegetation for aesthetic reasons and to maintain their natural appearace as part of the setting expected of a National Park or Recreation Area. Old road ways, decommissioned service areas, construction sites and bare areas characterize such sites. The purpose of thie project is (1) to conduct a literature review of revegetation reports pertinent to the climate and conditions of GCNRA and, (2) to extabllish two revegetation study areas at sites selected in consultation with NPS. Revegetation is necessary for functional reasons: 1) to prevent soil erosion and maintain or support the ecological balance of functioning ecosystems adjacent to the disturbed areas, and 2) to restore natural functions such as nutrient cycling, hydrology, soil stability and plant growth of the sites. Two of these sites were chosen as the location for revegetation tests.

Plant Growth Form

Quebrada del Condorito National Park is located in the upper belt of the mountains of central Argentina and preserves a heterogeneous rangeland area. After the creation of the National Park, in 1996, domestic livestock were gradually removed to avoid soil loss and degradation due to overgrazing in this fragile ecosystem. Lack of large-scale herbivory allowed the expansion of tussock grasslands over grazing lawns. In 2007 a guanaco (Lama guanicoe) population was reintroduced; this large native herbivore, that had become extinct in the region was selected, because it is a low-impact grazer. Habitat selection by the guanaco population reintroduced to the National Park was studied. Seven habitat types previously defined for the region were considered, each one exhibiting a particular dominant plant growth form and different per cent cover of plant species. Guanacos made a positive selection of moist and dry grazing lawns, and avoided tussock grasslands and forests. The reintroduced guanacos selected landscapes with short plants and a high percentage of perennial graminoids and forbs, which are guanacos’ preferred food items. The results indicate that availability of forage of a nutritive value and dominant plant growth form largely explain habitat selection by guanaco in the National Park; this information can be useful for both the ongoing guanaco reintroduction project and the design of management strategies aimed at ecological restoration of this important rangeland region of central Argentina.
