ONGOING PROGRAMS
Reconnect people with nature
- World class Biopark
- Capacity building at local community
- Educational Programs
Contribute to the development of emerging conservation leaders
- From: Develop programs of education for conservation in alternative learning spaces.
To: Generate and foster emerging conservation leaders.
Endangered species
- From: Rescue, recovery and reinserted individuals of endangered species: Maned wolf; Marsh deer and Yellow cardinal.
To: Wild populations under conservation plans, healthy, stable and connected to their naturals ecosystems, co-existing with the local communities (one plan approach).
Ecosystems
- From: One protected natural area with an efficient management plan which allowed to conserve 415% of the ecosystem.
To: Replicate the management model to create new protected natural areas in other priority ecosystems (Delta, Patagonia, grassland) and increase the surface of protected areas in Misiones.
Wildlife trafficking
- From: Mitigation of the effects of wildlife trafficking jointly with law-enforcement authorities and recovery of affected individuals at the CRET (532 in 2021).
To: Build preparedness for response to significant confiscations and implement effective strategies to stop the demand.
Recover species and Restore ecosystems
- Marsh deer and the low Paraná Delta wetlands
- Yellow cardinal and the Espinal - Maned wolf and the grassland
- Sharks and the Argentinean sea - Andean condor and the Andes
- Red macaw and the Iberá National Park
- Endemic flora and the grasslands and rainforest of Misiones
- Patagonia frog and Huemul in the Argentinian Patagonia
Strengthen wild populations of endangered species
- From: Working with 6 priority species (Maned wolf, Marsh deer, Andean condor, Red macaw and Broadnose sevengill shark).
To: Increase the number of conservation initiatives to improve the situation of the critically endangered species and broadening the outreach to work with more ecosytems, for example the Huemul, a mammal in danger of extinction and the Patagonia frog, an endemic amphibious of the Patagonia, also in critical danger.
