Valle California

Working in the early 2010s, Fundación Tierra Austral and Patagonia Sur LLC collaborated on the protection of the 3,200-hectare Valle California landscape, which is located in the Provence of Palena, Los Lagos Region. The two organizations protected Valle California using a predecessor agreement to the Derecho Real de Conservación, which is called the Servidumbre de Conservación.

Valle California has high biological diversity, landscape connectivity for wildlife, a segment of free-flowing whitewater Tigre River, and high elevation lagoons. The Servidumbre agreement designates 93% of the property as a Protected Area, and there are six Limited Development Areas on the remaining land.
