| Abstract (English): | The conservation of vegetation in urban environments, particularly grasslands, is a seldom-addressed yet highly relevant issue from both ecological and social perspectives. In this article, we open a discussion on the importance of urban and peri-urban grasslands, the challenges of conserving biodiversity in these areas, and the related socioecological issues. To support this discussion, we conducted surveys of plant diversity in five urban grasslands within the Metropolitan Region of Buenos Aires (RMBA), where socio-environmental organizations actively engage in conservation efforts. First, we explore the problems of grasslands, the definition of urban grasslands and their various interpretations in the literature, and society's perception and appreciation of these areas. We summarize the benefits that urban grasslands provide to society, including biodiversity conservation, recreation and environmental education. Next, we describe the specific characteristics of five RMBA grassland areas designated for conservation. In these areas, despite the fragmentation of the urban matrix and the presence of invasive exotic species, a significant proportion of native species typical of the Pampean grassland remains, which are valuable for conserving urban biodiversity. This highlights the ecological importance of these areas and the need to develop effective strategies for conserving and restoring urban grassland fragments. Finally, we examine the advantages and potential opportunities these fragments represent for the region and propose solutions to the identified challenges, such as implementing suitable management practices to reduce exotic species invasion and restore grasslands.

| Abstract (Spanish): | La conservación de la vegetación en ambientes urbanos, especialmente de los pastizales, es una problemática poco abordada, pero de gran relevancia ecológica y social. En este artículo proponemos un debate abierto sobre la importancia de los pastizales urbanos y periurbanos, los desafíos para conservar su biodiversidad y las implicancias socioecológicas asociadas. Para ello, nos basamos en relevamientos de diversidad vegetal en cinco pastizales urbanos de la Región Metropolitana de Buenos Aires (RMBA), donde organizaciones socioambientales comprometidas participan en su conservación. Primero, exploramos las problemáticas de los pastizales, la definición de pastizal urbano y sus distintas acepciones en la literatura, así como la percepción y la valoración de la sociedad de estos espacios. Sintetizamos los beneficios que los pastizales urbanos aportan a la sociedad, incluyendo la conservación de la biodiversidad, la recreación y la educación ambiental. Luego, describimos las características específicas de cinco áreas de pastizales en la RMBA destinadas a conservación. En estas áreas, a pesar de la fragmentación de la matriz urbana y la presencia de especies exóticas invasoras, persiste una proporción significativa de especies nativas representativas del pastizal pampeano, valiosas para la conservación de la biodiversidad urbana. Esto evidencia la importancia ecológica de los pastizales urbanos y la necesidad de generar estrategias efectivas para conservar y restaurar sus fragmentos. Finalmente, analizamos las ventajas y oportunidades que estos fragmentos representan para la región. Proponemos soluciones a las problemáticas identificadas, como implementar prácticas de manejo adecuadas para reducir la invasión de especies exóticas y promover la restauración de los pastizales.
