Help protect the breathtaking nature and unique wildlife in Patagonia. The organization was founded back in 2004 as a conservation project of the rich vegetation of Southern Chile. The
aim is to protect and maintain the forests and integrate local communities into the project in order to improve their quality of life in this remote yet beautiful region of Patagonia. The organization has developed several programs to protect the local environment and wildlife. The most important one is the reintroduction and reproduction of a very rare deer species, the
Chilean Huemul. In recent days the project also protects, reproduces and reintroduces the local Guanaco. Moreover the organization encourages the region’s economical and touristic
development; it runs a very successful eco-lodge focusing on sustainable tourism, guest cabins and a camping ground for both national and international visitors. The recent years of hard work have really been worth it. The famous „World Legacy Awards of the National Geographic“ rewarded the project’s achievements with the first place in 2015 among 150 destinations in 56 countries and 6 different continents that have applied in the section “Conserving the Natural World”.
