CONSERVATION IN YERBA LOCA NATURE SANCTUARY
In partnership with Lo Barnechea
municipality and CONAF (the National Forestry Commission),
Los Bronces Division has initiated a conservation project
for the nearby Yerba Loca Nature Sanctuary with a series
of different actions to conserve and promote this wilderness
area.
STUDY AND CONSERVATION OF THE ANDEAN CONDOR IN THE METROPOLITAN REGION
Under an agreement signed
with CONAF (Chile’s National Forest Service) for
the period August 2006-September 2008, Anglo American
is offering its support for satellite monitoring of 4
condors (2 males and 2 females), as part of the program
"Study and Conservation of the Andean Condor in the
Metropolitan Region." This monitoring program seeks
to obtain information on the ecology, use and management
of the condor’s food sources. The studies conducted
to date point to the existence of a large condor population
that moves round seasonally in search of carrion.
Anglo American has contributed to the Bi-national Andean
Condor Conservation Program by funding the bulk of the
costs associated with the release and follow up of condors
born in captivity.
