2024 ANNUAL REPORT
We are pleased to present our
2024 Annual Report
A new chapter in Argentina’s conservation history unfolded in 2024 with breakthrough achievements across our expanding project portfolio — which now includes the Yungas Project, on the border with Bolivia, and the Alto Iguazú Project, on the border with Brazil.
From historic milestones—the release of the first female jaguars in El Impenetrable National Park after a 34-year absence, and the world’s first wild jaguar translocation between national parks—to the opening of a new gateway in Patagonia Park’s canyons, our work yielded the return of iconic wildlife, welcomed over 68,000 visitors seeking authentic nature experiences, and engaged more than 2,200 local people in community initiatives.
Thanks to the dedication of our teams and the steadfast support of many partners, 2024 took major steps toward a world where people AND wildlife thrive together. We hope you enjoy the report.

We documented 33 free-living jaguars in Iberá Park, recorded the birth of 12 jaguar cubs, and fitted 34 animals with tracking devices. We conducted 14 active management projects to increase threatened wildlife populations, developed 16 reintroduction projects to restore locally extinct species, and eradicated exotic species from 663 hectares (1,638 acres) of island and mainland ecosystems.
