Chile's central zone is a place that presents a great variety of
fauna, thanks to the great quantity of atmospheres that can be found
there. In this way we can discover fauna in mountains, valleys or
seaside. Within this fauna, we can find a great quantity of birds,
reptiles, mammals and insects. But this fauna is unknown for the
majority of the population, because of a lack of information. That
is why we created a course entitled "Chile's wildlife" in which we
teach you theoretical aspects and then enable you to use them in
expeditions. The idea is that at the end of the course, a
participant should leave with a basic knowledge on the fauna that
encloses us, on the different ecosystems and understand how the
species coexist all together. A crucial step in order to achieve the
conservation of the species is to educate people and this is
precisely the aim of this course.
