A Race to Save

For centuries the extreme isolation of the southernmost region of America has been a favorable characteristic for the preservation of the flora and fauna. However, in the past decades, this isolation has turned against it, permitting the devastation of vast areas of forest without anyone being able to react quickly enough.

Time is of the essence as corporate interests less concerned with sustainable development, such as the logging industry, are pressuring the Chilean government to grant them access to even more of the lands. It is our belief that if the world is exposed to the unique and inspiring beauty this region holds, they will choose sustainable development over environmental degredation.

Public awareness lies at the heart of any conservation movement. Our mission is to awaken the world to the importance and beauty of the southern Patagonia, thus ensuring that it will be the treasure it is today for future generations.
