It is urgent to conserve Puchegüín because it is a private property of high ecological and cultural value that has gone through several owners throughout its history, including a forestry company. Today, as it is once again up for sale, the threat that anyone could buy it for extractive activities is imminent.

The sale of the estate in 2022 increased concerns about potential environmental damage and the possibility that access could be restricted, affecting activities such as tourism and local livestock farming.

It is surrounded by more than 1,630,000 hectares of protected areas in Chile and Argentina, making it a key piece in the conservation map of Patagonia, as its protection will also allow the consolidation of one of the largest biological corridors in Latin America.

Conserva Puchegüín has a purchase agreement with the current owner that allows us the opportunity to raise funds to acquire and conserve it. This is a unique opportunity, and we want to take advantage of it.

Protecting one of the most iconic natural and cultural treasures of Chile is now.
