GOALS: 

√  To generate and promote the implementation of biodiversity, conservation and environmental protection projects in the Patagonian region.

√  To generate public advocacy actions in order to contribute to environmental protection. 

√  To implement formal, non-formal and informal environmental education programs related to conservation of biodiversity and environment in general.

√  To foster citizen participation in environmental matters, as an essential component for the construction of a sustainable society

√  To assist other organizations interested in biodiversity conservation and environmental education.

√ To articulate actions and projects with organizations based in the Patagonian region.

√ To build networks of joint work in matters of common interest for cities in the Patagonian region

√ To promote scientific and technical studies that, with a scientific base, contribute to environmental protection and citizen participation in those areas.

√  To educate citizens so that their participation is effective in terms of public impact.

The "Gallegos River Estuary" Environment Interpretation Center (CIERG), established in December 2011, is near the coast and within the Río Gallegos͛ Urban Coast Reserve. CIERG is a space conceived as a platform for communication, motivation, teaching and learning about our cultural and natural heritage. It aims to raise awareness and generate protection and conservation behaviors. 

Asociación Ambiente Sur is in charge of the administrative and executive management of the Interpretation Center, which is the culmination of the projects developed and the awareness-raising work carried out with other state and organizations. All of this has allowed us -- due to its seriousness and continuity with quantifiable results -- to obtain the necessary funds to design and build the interpretative infrastructure at the CIERG

 

CIERG is the first interpretation center of its kind in Southern Patagonia built for a protected area, where residents can relate with their experience in nature through guided tours to the reserve. Italso offers an ecotourism alternative for out-of-town visitors. Its creation was the result of a joint effort by the City Government, the National Patagonian University in Río Gallegos (UNPA-UARG), plus local, regional and global nongovernmental organizations, in order to protect, preserve and increase the knowledge about the biodiversity of the Gallegos River Estuary both in local people and visitors.
