Patagonia Steppe Project

With much of the fantastic wildlife sites in Patagonia being bought up by speculators, the World Land Trust's 10th Anniversary Appeal is to create a huge nature reserve and small ecotourism facility there. The particular area the Trust is aiming to acquire is close to Peninsular Valdes. This travel show is supporting the project.
