A fragile landscape with real restoration potential.
Almahue is a 4,300-hectare Patagonian landscape shaped by water scarcity, a harsh climate and past human activity.
But the opportunity is equally clear: protect what still thrives, restore degraded areas, strengthen biodiversity and create resilient native forests.
Every part of the land responds differently. That is why our decisions are guided by field observation, experience and science.
Each part of Almahue calls for a different response, adapted to its conditions.
Slow runoff, build infiltration channels and retain water in the landscape.
Protect natural regeneration, native vegetation and soils through fencing and adapted land management.
Establish resilient native forests with species adapted to each site.
Improve habitats and create better conditions for native fauna and flora.
Test species and methods, monitor results and better understand Almahue’s fauna and flora.
