About Campaign

Our foundation purchased La Coral in Misiones in 2022 using a generous donation. The 100 hectares of prime woodland, which includes rare flora, forms part of a protected area with two neighbours, Yacutora and Itaovy. Both of these properties have created paths wide enough for a small 4×4 from the access road to the stream. They have also built small cabins for overnight stays & birding platforms. Our foundation hopes to conduct bat research in this area, (we are well known bat researchers in Corrientes/Misiones) & place camera traps to view fauna.
We need to replace the old fencing around the property & employ a person to maintain the paths and help mitigate against illegal hunters. We would like to create a path from the access road to the stream so we can conduct our research, build a birding platform for ornithologists & a lockup to store equipment. We wish to install solar panels to charge equipment etc. In the future we hope to build a small cabin to house overnight researchers.

Donation Details

For this, we need funding. Please consider donating in order that we can achieve the following:

  • The path to the stream will encourage researchers to conduct studies of the flora and fauna, due to easier access.
  • Renewal of the old fencing and the signs will discourage illegal hunters
  • The camera traps will aid sightings of wildlife on which we can base future research projects
  • The viewing platform will encourage a limited amount of birding tourism.
  • Employing a person for general maintenance is important for relations with our neighbours, who have to pass through La Coral to reach their own reserves. It will also serve as a deterrant to illegal hunters.
  • Education regarding our flora and fauna for eco-tourists and locals in the future.
  • Protection of our flora and fauna from illegal hunters
