Rewilding Argentina plans to release five giant river otters into the wild next year
In 1998, we started a rewilding programme in Argentina to try to reverse this appalling loss. Our non-profit foundation, Fundación Rewilding Argentina, was spun out from the US non-profit organization Tompkins Conservation. We create protected areas where we can reintroduce native species, re-establish their interactions, restore ecosystem functionality and build valuable ecotourism based on wildlife viewing.
As a first step, we acquire private lands with philanthropic funds, reintroduce many species and form government-protected areas that are donated to federal and provincial governments. So far, we have purchased and donated about 400,000 hectares, with an estimated market value of US$91 million. This has created and enlarged six national parks, one national reserve and two provincial parks. Another 100,000 hectares are being donated.
