Cerro Guido Coexistence Project

Cerro Guido is a ranch located in the heart of Patagonia, about 15 kilometers to the East of Torres del Paine National Park, in Chile. This has been a traditional ranch, working for more than a hundred years in livestock raising, mainly sheep. Conflict between carnivore conservation and livestock raising has been a major issue since the beginning. 

Cerro Guido coexistence project aims to promote the coexistence between the conservation of wildlife and livestock raising in a ranch of Patagonia through the design of a respectful tourism program and the implementation of management strategies focused on reducing attacks and minimize the losses of livestock. Through those approaches we expect to contribute to the protection of local wildlife and promote the local and public awareness towards wildlife conservation in Patagonia. In this way, we will seek to demonstrate that wildlife conservation and ranching is possible in the short and long term
