Together with numerous partners in Chilean Patagonia we are committed to the research and conservation of temperate rainforests, wetlands and the Pacific coast. 

Our efforts focus on three critically endangered species, that, more than any others, serve as flagship species for their respective habitats: the Darwin’s frog, the Southern river otter and the Humboldt penguin.

Darwin’s frog (Rhinoderma darwinii)

Engagement for the little ones

The Darwin’s frog (Rhinoderma darwinii) is threatened by habitat loss, climate change and the chytrid fungus. We support research and conservation of these unique frogs and their habitat, and operate a breeding centre in Chile.

Southern river otter (Lontra provocax)

Commitment to highly endangered otters

Introduced diseases and habitat loss are endangering the Southern river otter (Lontra provocax). To save these rare otters from extinction and protect their wetland habitats, we are involved in research and education projects on site.

Humboldt penguin (Spheniscus humboldti)

Protection for agile swimmers

Humboldt penguins (Spheniscus humboldti) are under threat due to climate change, disease and fishing. We are involved in field work research, studying penguin colonies to develop specific conservation measures in priority areas.
