SUSTAINABILITY AND CONSERVATION PROJECTS Las Torres Reserve is committed to protecting and preserving the beautiful natural environment in Torres del Paine National Park. In 2004 AMA Torres del Paine, our nonprofit organization, was founded with the mission to lead and participate in scientific investigation, conservation and environmental educational projects. Our philosophy is to give back to nature and maintain it´s pristine state for future generations. Which is why over the last decade our operation has moved from traditional Patagonian cattle ranching to eco-tourism, and nature and culture conservation. Here is some of the work we are involved in: • Las Torres Park Rangers - our private team work to protect and support the visitors to Las Torres Reserve and the Park, together with the team from CONAF, the national park adminisitrator. • Together, we also provide supervision and security for the famous Las Torres trail and lookout, to ensure that all our visitors enjoy a safe experience. • We created a Welcome Center, as a place to receive our guests and visitors, offer information and education about the Park, recomendations and details of our rules and protocols. • Cultivation of an organic (kitchen) garden using regenerative agriculture practices to produce more than 4 tons of fresh fruit and vegetables for the restaurant kitchens and bars, together with 14 tons of organic recycled compost during a typical season. • Waste reduction and recycling program. • Reforestation project - with native lenga trees. • Trail restoration campaigns. • A zero percent plastic policy in our sustainable Bar Pionero which includes the use of self-made copper straws. • Home-made cocktails served in glasses made from recycled glass bottles. • Holistic Grassland Management - Las Torres obtained the Ecological Outcome Verification Certificate. • Forest fire prevention projects.
