Advancing for the Huemul
On May 4th and 5th, 2023, a workshop on the huemul was held in Pto Natales, which brought together at least 15 panelists, moderators, and a coordinating team together with more than 55 people, representing the local community and 18 organizations, who actively participated in the different conversations and activities of this meeting.
We invite you to see in this video a little more than the workshop was.

The objective was to involve the neighboring communities and stakeholders of the Torres del Paine National Park to raise awareness and create a sustained collaborative action for the conservation of the huemul, an endangered and emblematic species for the Province of Última Esperanza.
The main results were, in addition to having a broad and diverse public interested in the subject, a list of threats and actions, a matrix of Strengths, Opportunities, Weaknesses and Threats, and the prioritization of 10 actions for the conservation of the huemul in the territory.
