Mammal Conservation Program

Both the bird and mammal communities of Patagonia have been relatively understudied. The initial logistical deployment, driven by the management of the Hooded Grebe Project, brought us closer to the questions that needed to be addressed to reverse this and provided us with the main tools to advance in the deep knowledge of these communities, hence the birth of the Mammal Conservation Program. Knowing populations and communities of species that are not necessarily threatened helps us understand environmental situations, changes, and transformations. Our work with the communities has served as a way to provide important information for decision-makers and as a starting point for many projects.
