Protecting Wildlife in the Araucanía
From Lonquimay, heart of northern Patagonia, we work to conserve Chile's natural heritage. We rescue, rehabilitate, and protect the species that make this region unique.
Born from love for the land and its creatures
Fundación Luan was born in Lonquimay, in the heart of the Araucanía, driven by the urgent need to protect the native wildlife that inhabits the temperate forests, steppes, and volcanoes of this extraordinary region.
We work with Mapuche and settler communities, with scientists and volunteers, building bridges between ancestral knowledge and modern conservation.
