Pacific Patagonia
Proportion of the area of the contribution comprising Key Biodiversity Areas: 0%
The Pacific Patagonia region in South America offers a pristine marine environment with abundant wildlife. Endangered species such as the Blue whale and the near threatened Chilean dolphin can be found here, along with various species of penguins and other seabirds that thrive in the area's cold waters and rocky shores.
