Fundraising<\/h3><\/span>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Conserva Pucheg\u00fc\u00edn\u2019s fundraising campaign was designed to engage both large and small donors across Chile and the world. Guided trips to Pucheg\u00fc\u00edn with potential supporters, one-on-one meetings, and a communications strategy that reached global audiences \u2013 including the front page of The New York Times \u2013 have all been key to highlighting the project\u2019s international relevance.<\/p>\n

Thanks to this approach, we\u2019ve made significant progress toward our fundraising goal. Check out our progress to date below.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Conservation Plan<\/h3><\/span>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Our conservation plan is grounded in science and takes a holistic approach that protects flora, fauna, and fungi. Its aim is to not only safeguard biodiversity, but also preserve Pucheg\u00fc\u00edn\u2019s vital role in mitigating climate change, securing local water supplies and other ecosystem services, and connecting a nearly 1.6-million-hectare biological corridor across Chile and Argentina.<\/p>\n

Community Engagement<\/h3><\/span>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>
