Since
its inception, Fundación Miguel Lillo has developed a task
based on the Preservation of Nature, anticipating the global environmental
crisis currently affecting the world. Some of the results of the work carried
out by its staff are the Public Reservation of La Florida (Tucumán),
the native Flora and Fauna Reservation of Olaroz, for the protection
of vicuñas (Jujuy), the project of Aconquija National Park
(under discussion in the Honorable National Congress) and the project
of the National Park in the region of Ojos del Salado Volcano.
Surveys carried out in the Foundation were also used as the basis for the
creation of other protected areas such as the National Park Baritú
and Calilegua.In this field, the staff of Fundación Miguel Lillo has transcended the Argentine boundaries, providing assessment about the protection of the Amazonian Basin (in an area including 9 countries), the regions of Xingú and Irirí rivers (Brasil) and the Amboró and Noel Kempff Mercado National Parks and the reservations of Tariquía, Sama and Sajama, in Bolivia.
Moreover, the foundation staff advises several international institutions on Latin America-related subjects, among which are Wetlands International, Wetlands for the Americas, Ducks Unlimited, Buró International for the study of aquatic birds and the humid soils (IWRB), Biodiversity Support Program, World Wildlife Found, Convention of Bonn, Birdlife International, Partners in flight -USDA Forest Service, hemispherical Network for beach birds, National Fish and Wildlife Foundation, The Pew Charitable Trust, W.
