hect\u00e1reas de bosque maduro y 1.800 hect\u00e1reas de alerces milenarios, r\u00edos y humedales ribere\u00f1os que aportan nutrientes y vida al estuario de Reloncav\u00ed y de un patrimonio geol\u00f3gico muy representativo de la Patagonia, que tiene en el valle de Cocham\u00f3 su principal exponente.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The request was submitted by the Valle de Cocham\u00f3 Organization, with technical support from the <a href=\"https:\/\/puelopatagonia.cl\/en\/\">Puelo Patagonia NGO<\/a>, at the same time, these organizations have successfully brought together the local community to work around this conservation initiative, including groups such as the Arrieros Association of the Cocham\u00f3 Valley, the Indigenous Community Antu Lemu No. 1219, the Cocham\u00f3 Destination Tourism Chamber, the local tourism guild, Neighborhood Council No. 6 of Cocham\u00f3, the Cocham\u00f3 Seniors Club, and the Municipality of Cocham\u00f3, among others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure
