PURPOSE

Design and implement a Conservation Project for Punta de Lobos together with the community, oriented towards the restoration of marine and terrestrial biodiversity, the promotion of traditional activities and the development of local economies that allow sustainability and perpetuity over time.

HISTORY

Punta de Lobos is a very special place, with exceptional conditions for surfing and artisanal fishing. Its flora, fauna and incredible geography make it a unique corner of Chile and the world.

This park is a conservation project that was born from the need to protect this place from two invasive real estate projects, approved in 2013, which were intended to be located on the land and cliffs of Punta de Lobos.

At the beginning of 2014, with the support of the international organization Save The Waves Coalition, the Punta de Lobos Defense Committee was formed, aimed at protecting the sector, who managed, among other things, to make a modification to the existing regulatory plan restricting the uses to “green areas” to the lands adjacent to the sea, including the Mirador land on which the park is located.

At the end of 2017, through philanthropic actions and collaborative work, Fundación Punta de Lobos managed to raise the funds to acquire the most emblematic property called “Mirador de Punta de Lobos” guaranteeing its protection and free access in perpetuity. And it is what is known today as Parque Punta de Lobos.
