Argentina is home to world’s largest colonies of Magellanic Penguins, Rockhopper and Adelie Penguins, Southern Right Whales, orcas, elephant seals, jaguars, capybaras, and a wide variety of bird species.
In the early 1990s, using personal funds, Doug and Kristine Tompkins began a major conservation project in the Iberá marshlands of northern Argentina. In the decades since, the Tompkins Conservation, through its affiliate Rewilding Argentina, has led successful efforts to create or expand numerous protected areas including several national parks. They have pioneered innovative rewilding projects that have returned giant anteaters, green-winged macaws, jaguars, and other species to their former homes in Argentina.
In Patagonia Azul— a key location for biological diversity, Rewilding Argentina is working to expand protection for and achieve the restoration of marine ecosystems. At the southern tip of Argentina, Tierra del Fuego, with its glaciers and iceberg-filled lakes, is the closest you can get to Antarctica without setting sail and features a wildlife-rich coastline.
