La Esperanza

Guanacos - Natural Sanctuary

The “La Esperanza” sanctuary, located 75 km north of the city of Puerto Madryn, is intended for the conservation of biodiversity. It is located in the buffer zone of the Peninsula Valdés Protected Natural Area, declared a Natural World Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO.

Punta Flecha

Observatory

The Punta Flecha Observatory is located in the El Doradillo Municipal Protected Area, 17 km from the city of Puerto Madryn. It is the first place in the world that allows coastal sightings with a large concentration of southern right whales (Eubalaena australis). 

Renewable Energies

Project

We promote the use of renewable energies and the proper management of organic waste, in order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions generated from the burning of fossil fuels and the decomposition of organic waste; and avoid cutting native vegetation for use as firewood.

Addressing the complexity of the environment requires multiple perspectives.
To meet our objectives, we have an interdisciplinary technical team that is responsible for carrying them forward in a comprehensive manner. The staff is divided into various work areas:
