Amidst the Patagonian Rainforest, Chile, is Huilo Huilo Biological Reserve. It covers 100.000 hectares of Temperate Rainforest which houses surprising biological diversity (UNESCO Biosphere Reserve (2007)). Huilo Huilo is pioneer in a new concept of sustainable development based on three pillars: Conservation through research and emblematic projects like the Patagonian Huemul Conservation Centre, which protects our national emblem, a deer in extinction threat; Integration of the Local Community, already actively involved, generating a significant number of jobs and training in different disciplines, which permit peoples´ economic reconversion. Finally, Sustainable Tourism as a new economic activity for the area which includes unique accommodations as the Magic Mountain lodge and amazing expeditions operated by local people.
