Las Vertientes Private Nature Reserve
Private nature reserve in Patagonia, Chile
Las Vertientes Private Nature Reserve (Spanish: Reserva Natural Privada Las Vertientes) is a private Chilean nature reserve located in the Los Lagos Region, part of Chilean Patagonia.[1] Created in 2009 as a nature reserve operated by the Corporación Nacional Forestal, its purpose is to protect the plants and animals of the Valdivian temperate rainforest. The 100 square kilometres (39 sq mi) reserve's work emphasizes restoration of the temperate rainforest ecosystem over being a public amenity.[2] It is the only private protected area in Los Muermos.[citation needed]
