The area has an average altitude of 4,000 metres. \u2018People think that biodiversity equals giant trees and lots of insects and birds. In the Altiplano you must look a bit better, but there are vicu\u00f1as, a large number of birds and many other species. The biodiversity is camouflaged by the landscape,\u2019 says Natalia, geographer by education.

Being in these mountains, near huge volcanoes evoked a lot of feelings.\u2019 Growing up in southern Chile, eucalyptus plantations were the only \u201cnature\u201d she knew, she says. \u2018This wild landscape touched me deeply.\u2019<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"block block-container small-12 large-offset-1 large-10\">\n<p>Nowadays, she and Sebastian are based in Putre, an city situated at more than 3500 meters of altitude in the uppermost north of Chile. \u2018I fell in love with the Chilean highlands during my internship in the Surire Salt Lake<span class=\"footnote_referrer\"><a role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\" onclick=\"footnote_moveToReference_239239_1('footnote_plugin_reference_239239_1_1');\" onkeypress=\"footnote_moveToReference_239239_1('footnote_plugin_reference_239239_1_1');\" ><sup id=\"footnote_plugin_tooltip_239239_1_1\" class=\"footnote_plugin_tooltip_text\">[1]<\/sup><\/a><span id=\"footnote_plugin_tooltip_text_239239_1_1\" class=\"footnote_tooltip\">A salt lake in Lauca National Park, Chile<\/span><\/span><script type=\"text\/javascript\"> jQuery('#footnote_plugin_tooltip_239239_1_1').tooltip({ tip: '#footnote_plugin_tooltip_text_239239_1_1', tipClass: 'footnote_tooltip', effect: 'fade', predelay: 0, fadeInSpeed: 200, delay: 400, fadeOutSpeed: 200, position: 'top center', relative: true, offset: [-7, 0], });<\/script>, where the feeling I had to do something to protect the Altiplano was born.

At this extreme altitude, the only tree able to survive is the Polylepis (<em>Polylepis&nbsp;tarapacana<\/em>). Many of the other species in the area are less visible at first glance. \u2018It does not mean they are not there,\u2019 states Natalia. \u2018People often think that biodiversity is equal to giant trees and lots of insects and birds.

I love to see how they have adapted to survive in this harsh environment: some have the shape of a pillow; others have very long leaves to catch more sun.

Sometimes we have large amounts of rain in a short time, which causes a lot of erosion and loss of the high Andean wetlands; an ecosystem that absorb water and contribute to the downstream water flow.\u2019<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"block block-container small-12 large-offset-1 large-10\">\n<p>\u2018In the past 50 years, the water availability has been decreasing. There is less water and the heavy rains cannot be absorbed by the soil,\u2019 continues Sebastian. He points out that the weather in the highlands is not isolated from other ecosystems in the region. \u2018There is a direct relationship between the Altiplano and the situation at the coast. At the same time, our ecosystem depends on the rains coming from the Amazon rainforest. The people in the area know about this interconnection. We respect their rich and accurate biocultural knowledge.\u2019 \u2018The area has many endangered endemic species. One of them is&nbsp; Arica frog (<em>Telmatobius pefauri<\/em>)&nbsp; that can only be found in the Precordillera de Putre, an area measuring less than 5000 square kilometres. Changes in habitat and water flows affect species such as these directly. Instead of focusing on individual species, we look at their relationship with the ecosystem,\u2019 says Sebastian.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:22px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"block block-container small-12 large-offset-1 large-10\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Gaining trust<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"block block-container small-12 large-offset-1 large-10\">\n<p>From the start, working with the <a>Indigenous Aymara<\/a> people in the area was at the core of their approach, but it took time to gain their trust. There was a lack of trust among the inhabitants due to earlier conservation efforts by governmental institutions that did not involve the local communities.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"block block-container small-12 large-offset-1 large-10\">\n<p>Trust was lacking among the inhabitants due to previous conservation efforts by governmental institutions that did not include local communities. \u2018National parks were created without the knowledge of residents. Imagine coming home after a long day of work to suddenly find your house in the middle of a reserve,\u2019 says Sebastian. \u2018Back in the days, national parks were managed by the military who knocked on people\u2019s doors for food. People developed a distrust towards conservation.\u2019<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"block block-container small-12 large-offset-1 large-10\">\n<p>It is therefore important that people get to know the work of Aka Pacha, continues the young conservationist. \u2018I believe trust is essential in conservation. It is important that communities see that we have a different approach than government officials. We visit people also outside office hours, also on Sundays. When people experience that they can contribute to conservation themselves, the paradigm changes. Instead of being told what they cannot do, they become part of the process.\u2019<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"block block-container small-12 large-offset-1 large-10\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><div class=\"block block-container small-12 large-offset-1 large-10\">\n<p>\u2018We believe long-term conservation requires working closely with communities. We always consult them at the start of each project.\u2019<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"block block-container small-12 large-offset-1 large-10\">\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Natalia Gutierrez Salgado, Aka Pacha Foundation<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:41px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"block block-container small-12 large-offset-1 large-10\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A privately protected area<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"block block-container small-12 large-offset-1 large-10\">\n<p>Sebastian talks about the project supported by the Land Acquisition Fund. \u2018We met Don Vicente in 2019, whose family owns the Muyusire property. He was interested in conservation, so we asked if he wanted to create a privately managed protected area rather than of one governed by the state. We started working together to establish the Condorpasa Nature Reserve on the land of Don Vicente to protect species like the Andean cat (<em>Leopardus jacobita<\/em>) and the marbled four-eyed frog (<em>Pleurodema marmoratum<\/em>). Not much later, his brothers wanted to sell their property shares. Because their potential buyers were mining companies, Don Vicente reached out to us with the message that we needed to do act urgently.\u2019<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"block block-container small-12 large-offset-1 large-10\">\n<p>Aka Pacha found the IUCN NL Land Acquisition Fund and contacted Marc Hoogeslag, coordinator of the fund, and his team. It led to a field visit of Liliana J\u00e1uregui, the soon to be director of IUCN NL, and subsequently a grant in 2024. Currently, Don Vicente, part of the Aymara community, is in the process of buying the land shares of his brothers to expand the Condorpasa Nature Reserve. \u2018This way, we hope to safeguard this area for eternity. Our aim is long-term conservation covering all aspects,\u2019 adds Sebastian. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:39px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"block block-container small-12 large-offset-1 large-10\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"487\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.iucn.nl\/app\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Aka-Pacha-team-and-IUCN-NL-in-the-Altiplano-in-Chile-1024x487.png\" alt=\"Aka Pacha and IUCN NL in the Altiplano in Chile\" class=\"wp-image-239236 lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/487;width:840px;height:auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.iucn.nl\/app\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Aka-Pacha-team-and-IUCN-NL-in-the-Altiplano-in-Chile-1024x487.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.iucn.nl\/app\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Aka-Pacha-team-and-IUCN-NL-in-the-Altiplano-in-Chile-300x143.png 300w, https:\/\/www.iucn.nl\/app\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Aka-Pacha-team-and-IUCN-NL-in-the-Altiplano-in-Chile-768x365.png 768w, https:\/\/www.iucn.nl\/app\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Aka-Pacha-team-and-IUCN-NL-in-the-Altiplano-in-Chile-1536x730.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.iucn.nl\/app\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Aka-Pacha-team-and-IUCN-NL-in-the-Altiplano-in-Chile.png 1599w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-cyan-bluish-gray-color\">Aka Pacha team, Liliana J\u00e1uregui (IUCN NL) and Don Vicente<\/mark><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:42px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"block block-container small-12 large-offset-1 large-10\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Indigenous knowledge<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"block block-container small-12 large-offset-1 large-10\">\n<p>Indigenous knowledge drives their work. \u2018The communities inspire me,\u2019 explains Natalia. \u2018People know a lot about nature and its cycles: they know when it will rain, which plants are medicinal. They are very connected to their environment. As a foundation, we believe long-term conservation requires working closely with communities. We always consult them at the start of each project: What do they know about this species, what is its role in the ecosystem and where have they see them? Often we find species quite easily because of the knowledge of the Aymara.\u2019<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"block block-container small-12 large-offset-1 large-10\">\n<p>\u2018Many people have changed Chile\u2019s Altiplano for a life in the city\u2019, says Sebastian. \u2018If they come back, they often find jobs that have little to do with their historical connection with the territory, for example in the mining sector. Through conservation, we give them an option to gain money while taking care of their natural heritage.\u2019<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"block block-container small-12 large-offset-1 large-10\">\n<p>At the same time, Aka Pacha sees the importance of giving space to existing livelihoods, explains Natalia. \u2018We have to find solutions with the communities. The reality is that people have livestock, and we have to find solutions in which we all can co-exist in this territory.\u2019 \u2018A puma,\u2019 continues Sebastian, \u2018prefers a avicu\u00f1a&nbsp;for a meal. If they cannot find them, they will attack a llama or alpaca, often kept by people as livestock. By protecting vicu\u00f1as, we also protect livestock.

I feel like a child again. It is more than a job: it fills my heart. Sharing our work with people is also important to keep motivated.
