  • Description

    Description

    I'm zoologist, working in wildlife conservation, especially with endangered species such as some South American aquatic mammals.
    I live in a small house that I am building with my own hands on the mountain, which dominates the Corral Bay, several rivers and the sea. My house is located in the town of Niebla, 18 km from the city of Valdivia. My children live in Spain, so I live alone.
    I worked many years in an NGO dedicated to the conservation of nature and now I try to combine my work in wildlife conservation proyects with rural development projects, as renobables energies and sustainable use of natural resources at the household level.
    I get volunteers who are interested in knowing the wildlife of south of Chile and also support rural development projects in local communities. I prefer volunteers to be at least a month to teach the job, know the culture and show other places in southern Chile where I do my conservation projects.
