EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the daily life of forestry workers, or Obrajeros, in the Gran Chaco region of Argentina during the early 20th century. The image shows a camp site where the forest workers have constructed makeshift beds on raised poles, suspended above the forest floor. The use of raised beds was a common practice in the Chaco region to protect the workers from insects, snakes, and other creatures that inhabited the dense jungle. The Obrajeros were essential laborers in the forest industry, responsible for extracting valuable woods such as quebracho and ironwood. They worked long hours under harsh conditions, living in remote camps deep in the forest for weeks or even months at a time. The photograph offers a glimpse into the challenging existence of these workers, who played a crucial role in Argentina's forestry industry during its early development. The Gran Chaco region, located in the northwestern part of Argentina and Paraguay, is characterized by its vast, dry, and dense forests. The area was largely unexplored until the late 19th century when European settlers arrived in search of valuable woods and agricultural lands. The exploitation of the region's natural resources led to the displacement of indigenous peoples and the establishment of large-scale forestry companies, which employed thousands of laborers like the Obrajeros. This historical photograph is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices and hardships endured by the forest workers in the Gran Chaco region of Argentina. It offers a unique perspective into the past, providing valuable insights into the lives of the Obrajeros and the role they played in the development of Argentina's forest industry.
