LOCATION: Futaleufú, Los Lagos Region AREA PROTECTED: 1 ha
This conservation initiative is part of the efforts to protect the banks of the Futaleufú River through Derecho Real de Conservación (DRC) agreements. The project is carried out in collaboration with the organization Futaleufú Riverkeeper.
This work is the beginning of a landscape-scale conservation effort aimed at protecting the flora, fauna, and scenic value of the Futaleufú River and its tributaries. The area is part of the UNESCO-designated “Temperate Rainforests of the Southern Andes” Biosphere Reserve and is recognized as a Zone of Tourist Interest (ZOIT). Notable species in this area include the coigüe (Nothofagus dombeyi), the puma (Puma concolor), the güiña (Leopardus guigna), and the huemul (Hippocamelus bisulcus).
This project is a collaboration between Fundación Tierra Austral and Futaleufú Riverkeeper, a non-profit organization and member of the Waterkeeper Alliance, an international network working to protect the waterways of our planet.
