Puchegüín

¡Lo logramos! Estamos creando un área protegida de 133 mil hectáreas en Cochamó, en la Patagonia chilena. Gracias al apoyo de muchas personas en Chile y el mundo, en diciembre de 2025 logramos comprar el Fundo Puchegüín. Ya estamos trabajando para garantizar su protección permanente y, con ello, el resguardo de alerces milenarios, glaciares, huemules y estilos de vida únicos.

We are creating a future protected area for Chile and the world!

We did it! Thanks to the support of people across Chile and around the world, we successfully acquired Fundo Puchegüín in December 2025—a one-of-a-kind landscape that had been at risk for years. We are now working to secure permanent protection for its 328,600 acres in the Cochamó commune, safeguarding ancient alerce forests, glaciers, endangered huemul deer, and a way of life found nowhere else.
