State-NGO Collaboration Expands Protection for Patagonia's Biodiversity Hotspot

In the southern Argentinian province of Chubut, in the pristine region of Patagonia Azul, arid grasslands give way to steep cliffs, rocky beaches and dense kelp forests, creating a rich and biodiverse habitat.

This habitat is home to humpback (Megaptera novaeangliae) and sei (Balaenoptera borealis) whales as well as South American sea lions (Otaria flavescens) among the megafauna that visit the area for food and breeding.

These collaborative efforts aim to protect the region's unique biodiversity.

Sharing stories like this helps raise awareness about the importance of conservation.
