Here at Conservacion Patagonica, we see the loss of biodiversity and the destruction of ecosystems as the greatest crisis of our time. As conservation biologists affirm, creating large protected areas, recovering wildlife and habitat, and working with local communities offer the best chances of reversing this trend. Our top priorities:
Our conservation strategy focuses on creating new national parks in the Patagonia region. We believe that in Chile and Argentina—countries with long and proud histories of parklands—national parks represent the most secure, effective, and responsible mode of protecting land. Moreover, establishing a park accomplishes far more than land conservation. A flagship national park attracts myriads of visitors, who gain a deeper appreciation of the natural world while boosting the local economy in an environmentally sensible way. Few conservation organizations in the world tackle the task of building new national parks, but we're committed to creating parks that protect some of Earth's last wild places while benefiting their community and nation. 
Founded in 2000, Conservacion Patagonica quickly succeeded in creating Monte Leon National Park, Argentina's first continental coastal national park. 
Next, we dove into our most ambitious project yet: the creation of Patagonia National Park in the Aysen Region of southern Chile. A stunning expanse of 650,000-acre expanse of grasslands, forests, wetlands, mountains and rivers, this park-in-progress offers a powerful example of reviving healthy ecosystems and biodiversity. |
