Fundaci\u00f3n Conserva Pucheg\u00fc\u00edn is a non-profit organization working to protect Fundo Pucheg\u00fc\u00edn \u2013 a 133,000-hectare property of pristine nature in the municipality of Cocham\u00f3 (Los Lagos Region) in northern Chilean Patagonia. Protecting this area safeguards the nature and culture in the greater Cocham\u00f3 region and helps create one of the largest biological corridors in Latin America.<\/h4><\/span>

Fundaci\u00f3n Conserva Pucheg\u00fc\u00edn was born out of the Conserva Pucheg\u00fc\u00edn alliance. After an ambitious international fundraising campaign, the alliance succeeded in purchasing Fundo Pucheg\u00fc\u00edn in December 2025. This private property of exceptional natural and cultural value had been at risk, and its purchase ensures its permanent protection.<\/p>\n

Pucheg\u00fc\u00edn boasts a breathtaking tapestry of ecosystems \u2013 including ancient alerce forests, towering granite walls, glaciers, wetlands and crystal clear waters. In this region, endemic and endangered species thrive alongside local rural communities whose way of life is deeply intertwined with the land. For this reason, the foundation seeks not only to protect the area\u2019s natural ecosystems, but to do so while supporting local development, long-term economic sustainability, and the continuity of local traditions and culture.<\/p>\n

Conserva Pucheg\u00fc\u00edn began in Chile as a local dream and earned the support of thousands of people around the world \u2013 becoming one of the most significant conservation campaigns to ever come out of the country.<\/p>\n<\/div>
