  • Protected Areas in Chile, and Identify the Challenges That the Country Confronts for Improving the Conservation and Social Efficacy of Protected Areas
    C O N S E R V A T I O N I S S U E S ABSTRACT: Natural reserves or protected areas are a keystone of global strategies for biological conservation. With over 18% of its land under protection, Chile faces challenges similar to those in other developing countries. In this paper we describe the history and status of protected areas in Chile, and identify the challenges that the country confronts for improving the conservation and social efficacy of protected areas. Following the modern “pristine” concept of protected areas, Chile created its first protected area in 1907 and the first national park in 1925. Historically, several national and local • agencies were in charge of the creation and management of protected areas. In 1984, the national public system of protected areas was created to organize the scattered protected areas around a unified system that seeks to conserve Chilean natural resources. The system has several problems that jeopardize its Protected capability to conserve Chilean biodiversity: insufficient ecosystem representation, inadequate coverage of biodiversity hot-spots, low budgets, and boundary issues. Private protected areas have recently been considered as complementary units to SNASPE. But there are questions about long-term commitment Areas in Chile: and restriction to development in such areas. The growth of ecotourism may be boosting SNASPE and private reserve initiatives, but it may also threaten the conservation of pristine environments. We History, Current propose that protected areas in Chile be part of a comprehensive conservation policy that considers the entire range of natural resources. This policy should also address new ways to conserve biodiversity Status, and outside protected area boundaries, bringing both private and public initiatives together.

  • Brochure Route-Of-Parks EN.Pdf
    ROUTE OF PARKS OF CHILEAN PATAGONIA The Route of Parks of Chilean Patagonia is one of the last wild places on earth. The Route’s 17 National Parks span the entire south of Chile, from Puerto Montt all the way down to Cape Horn. Aside from offering travelers what is perhaps the world’s most scenic journey, the Route has also helped revitalize more than 60 local communities through conservation-centered tourism. This 1,740-mile Route spans a full third of Chile. Its ecological value is underscored by the number of endemic species and the rich biodiversity of its temperate rainforests, sub-Antarctic climates, wetlands, towering massifs, icefields, and its spectacular fjord system–the largest in the world. The Route’s pristine ecosystems, largely untouched by human intervention, capture three times more carbon per acre than the Amazon. They’re also home to endangered species like the Huemul (South Andean Deer) and Darwin’s Frog. The Route of Parks is born of a vision of conservation that seeks to balance the protection of the natural world with human economic development. This vision emphasizes the importance of conserving and restoring complete ecosystems, which are sources of pride, prosperity, and belonging for the people who live in and near them. It’s a unique opportunity to reverse the extinction crisis and climate chaos currently ravaging our planet–and to provide a hopeful, harmonious model of a different way forward. 1 ALERCE ANDINO National Park This park, declared a National Biosphere Reserve of Temperate Rainforests, features 97,000 acres of evergreen rainforest.

Although we think that the establishment of any conservation policies along the vast coastline of Chile must be based on a multitude of approaches and considerations, scientific, biological, and ecological principles should guide much ofthese efforts.

Then we head back to the administration center to get an introduction to the park. We continue our trip through a forest zone following the path that this impressive glacier carved into the landscape long ago. Along the route witness blue icebergs which have broken off from the glacier and are now floating in the lake. Will make stops to see and photograph some of the wildlife of the park including: Guanacos, foxes (which are common and tame enough to get with 2-3 meters), Darwin's Rheas, colorful plovers, black-necked swans, and much more. We continue our trip north until we arrive to the Paine River, which is the main tributary in the area and will guide us through the lake system in the National Park.

  • Sernatur Araucanía
    ARAUCANÍA Biosphere Reserve National Parks and other Wild Protected Areas Biosphere reserves consist of terrestrial Araucarias Biosphere Reserve (Chile) or coastal ecosystems or a combination of both. They are acknowledged internationally such as in the Program on Man and Biosphere (MaB) by UNESCO. They must fullfil three complementary tasks: conservation, development and logistic support (UNESCO 1995), which are applied within the wild protected areas, transitional, and damping zones. Araucarias Biosphere Reserve, located in the mountainrange of Araucania Region, was created in 1983 and enlarged in 2010 (UNESCO–MAB, 2010). It occupies a territory of 1,142,850 hectares, representing a 36% of the total Araucania Region surface, by covering nine mountain areas where a varied natural ecosystem and diverse mosaic of cultures are found. (Enlargement Report RBA, 2010) The region has a vast natural and cultural heritage, particularly araucarias and warm rainforest, as being an important part of this heritage National Parks or Reserves managed by CONAF, the entity that declared 10 nucleus zones among the wild protected areas managed in Los Andes de la Araucania: NP Villarrica, NP Conguillío, NP Huerquehue, NP Tolhuaca, NR Malleco, NR Villarrica, NR China Muerta, NR Alto Biobío, NR Malalcahuello, NR Nalcas, with a surface of 271,623 ha.

I suspect that what once attracted us to our professions in park research or Mresource management was the expectation of working—at least part of the time—in the great outdoors of the national parks, an ideal as potent for some as the calling to preserve the magnificence of the National Park System. In reality, we balance these two worlds, conducting experiments or carrying out resource management projects in the field, and enjoying the productivity afforded by the office environment where we synthe- size data from fieldwork, organize staffs for field projects, collaborate with colleagues, advance partnerships, or simply take care of admin- istrative details. In my job I have the great pleasure of engaging daily in the telling of fascinating stories of research and resource management throughout the National Park System. I cross paths with hundreds of park employees and researchers each year.

  • Grasses (Poaceae) of Easter Island — Native and Introduced Species Diversity
    ProvisionalChapter chapter 15 Grasses (Poaceae) of Easter Island — Native and Introduced Species Diversity Víctor L. Finot, Clodomiro Marticorena, Alicia Marticorena, Gloria Rojas and Juan A. Barrera Additional information is available at the end of the chapter http://dx.doi.org/10.5772/59154 1. Introduction Rapa Nui (Easter Island, Isla de Pascua), also known as Te Pito O Te Henua, is a small oceanic island of volcanic origin discovered by the Dutch explorer Jakob Roggeveen in April 1722. It has belonged to Chile since 1888 and is administratively part of the Region of Valparaíso, Province Isla de Pascua. At around 163.6 km2, it is the largest island of the Chilean insular territory, situated in Polynesia, ca. 3,700 km from continental Chile in the Pacific Ocean (27°7’S, 109°22’W). Rapa Nui is considered the most remote inhabited island in the world, with a population of nearly 5,800 inhabitants. Approximately 43.5 % of the island territory is under the protection of the National System of Wild Protected Areas of the State of Chile (SNASPE). The Rapa Nui National Park, administered by the National Forest Corporation of Chile (CONAF) was created on 16th January, 1935 and declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1995 to protect the Rapa Nui culture, and especially the 887 statues known as moai [1]. The climate is warm and sub-tropical. The flora of Rapa Nui is extremely poor compared to other oceanic tropical islands [2]. Approximately 40 % of the flora is indigenous. Nearly 23 % of the vascular flora is represented by endemic species, and some 20 species of the native flora, 10 of which are endemic, have disappeared or are endangered, principally due to invasive plants, fire, overgrazing and agriculture, among other factors [3].
