As a nonprofit organization, Conservacion Patagonica's goal is to preserve intact ecosystems, to acquire and protect privately owned wildlands, and ultimately to return its landholdings to the public domain for permanent protection in the form of national parks or reserves. 0 0 115290 See Schedule OIn 2004 Estancia Valle Chacabuco was acquired to preserve with the goal of incorporating this property with two adjacent Chilean National Reserves to create the future Patagonia National Park. To create a 650,000-acre world-class protected area in central Chilean Patagonia will secure protection for a critical area of Patagonia, restore its ecosystems and endangered species, inspire an educate advocates for conservation and create a local economic alternative in ecotourism. High-quality public access is being developed - trail networks, campgrounds, lodging, a visitor center, park guard stations, and a cafe/restaurant - representing a top priority in the establishment of this flagship national park. Built from local materials, whenever possible, and in a regional style, the park's facilities are durable, energy-efficient, and beautiful. Programs that restore ecosystems, recover threatened wildlife, and engage local communities magnify the ecological and social benefits of land conservation in the transition from estancia to park. In creating the future Patagonia National Park, Conservacion Patagonia aims to ensure thriving populations of all native species. Since beginning this project in 2004, the top priority has been the recovery of the endangered huemul deer. We are studying the existing huemul population with radio telemetry and closely monitoring birth and death rates to understand the biggest threats to the deer in the region, including the puma. While studying the predation patterns of pumas, we simultaneously work to promote understanding of this top predator and wildlife-friendly strategies for managing livestock. In addition, new programs have been developed to monitor and protect the Lesser Rhea and Mountain Viscacha. The long-term conservation of Patagonia National Park ultimately depends on the local communities living around the park, their behaviors toward nature, their beliefs about its value, and their ability to protect it and benefit from its existence. A community engagement program has been launched to bring closer collaboration with the communities neighboring the park. Events, meetings and interviews with local community groups have been organized to expand public recognition and engagement with the project. 115290 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 1 1 0 1 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 1 9 0 1 0 0 1 CI 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 6 6 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 AL AK AZ AR CA CO CT DE FL GA HI ID IL IN IA KS KY LA ME MD MA MI MN MS MO MT NE NV NH NM NY NC ND OH OK OR NJ PA RI SC SD TN TX UT VT VA WA WV WI WY X ESTHER LI 4152299339 1606 UNION STREET SAN FRANCISCO CA 94123 X KRISTINE TOMPKINS DIRECTOR, PRESIDENT 30.00 10.50 X X 0 0 0 DEBRA B RYKER DIRECTOR, SECRETARY/TREASUrer 10.00 10.50 X X 0 0 0 YVON CHOUINARD BOARD MEMBER 0.30 X 0 0 0 RICHARD RIDGEWAY BOARD MEMBER 0.30 X 0 0 0 MALINDA CHOUINARD BOARD MEMBER 0.30 X 0 0 0 PETER BUCKLEY BOARD MEMBER 0.30 X 0 0 0 ESTHER T LI VICE PRESIDENT 10.00 25.00 X 0 119005 30856 0 119005 30856 0 0 0 0 0 4170456 1545989 311824 5716445 42 42 313579 311824 1755 1755 1755 CURRENCY TRANSLATION 900099 19 19 19 5718261 0 0 1816 57109 57109 1984 1984 15872 15872 5094 5094 12764 12764 34320 34320 17811 8893 1316 7602 44069 4472 1122 38475 22348 22348 2327 2327 PROPERTY TAXES 97322 97322 PROGRAM SUPPORT 4603 4603 FILING FEES 4584 4584 Other Taxes 1200 1200 321407 115290 53049 153068 45095 71146 858948 412912 15102630 10526 15089052 15092104 41390820 47154820 12475 12096 0 166 57396390 62743244 2307959 2257959 2307959 2257959 X 54641622 60270150 446809 215135 55088431 60485285 57396390 62743244 5396854 0 X 0 1 X 1 0 X 8778456 5321589 7660633 4936005 5716445 32413128 8778456 5321589 7660633 4936005 5716445 32413128 18529369 13883759 361 131 169 94 42 797 32413925 0.42830 0.40250 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 15082633 15082633 19997 10526 9471 15092104 CONSERVACION PATAGONICA CHILE, S.A. 46792136 C Conservation Land Trust ARGENTINA, S.A. 362684 C 47154820 Due to Conservation Land Trust 2257959 2257959 X Part X, Line 2: CP IS RECOGNIZED BY THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE AS A TAX-EXEMPT ORGANIZATION UNDER SECTIONS 501(C)(3) AND 509(A)(1) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE ("IRC") AND SECTION 23701(D) OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA REVENUE AND TAXATION CODE.
