Founded in 2012, Futaleufú Riverkeeper contributes to the free flow of Patagonia's rivers, inspires conservation awareness, and strengthens communities and individuals.

Based in the town of Futaleufú, nestled at the confluence of the Futaleufú and Espolón rivers, our team works year-round to fulfill our vision of a Patagonia where rivers and basins are permanently protected, and where an active, empowered community preserves its unique cultural values and celebrates the magic of living in the pure nature of Patagonia.

Futaleufú Riverkeeper’s work is based on three main pillars – water monitoring, sustainable development, and strengthening the socio-environmental fabric. We work on consistent and systematic monitoring of the Futaleufú River watershed in order to understand its changes over time and to respond promptly to any negative impacts. Our team promotes projects that enhance the protection and conservation of the riparian ecosystems that surround us, actively involving the local community and fostering sustainable local planning through public-private partnerships and tools.
