Promote, facilitate and/or conduct translocation plan for at least 4 species

In the year 2022, 87 yellow cardinals were received, of which 24 were derived by the authorities of the province of Entre Ríos. To date, work has been done on the recovery of 59 of them, of those derived from the province of Entre Ríos, only one came from the western region, according to genetic analysis. They fully recovered and managed to reinsert a total of 44 yellow cardinals, a true record for the foundation, registering 11 casualties in this period. With these 3 reinsertion events (14 animals on April 30 and 11 on September 29, both groups in the province of Buenos Aires, and 19 animals on November 4 in the province of Entre Ríos), the equivalent of 2 was restored. % of two different wild cardinal populations. After each of the reinsertions, a field monitoring campaign of the released animals of at least 10 days each was carried out, verifying for this year, a survival of at least 36% of the rescued animals. In the first campaign of the year, 14 animals born under human care were released in the Conservation program carried out by the province of Buenos Aires. Nine of these animals were instrumented with radiotelemetry equipment with cell signal technology and solar panel,. The survival of 25 individuals was recorded, the formation of 13 couples, forming family groups with their offspring; and in the last campaign no reproductive events were recorded, we believe that as a consequence of the extreme drought. Of the liberation carried out in the Province of Entre Ríos, of the 24 cardinals received, 19 of them were returned to their habitat and monitoring confirmed the survival of at least 9. In 2023, 3 translocations of the yellow cardinal species (Gubernatrix cristata) were carried out. This species is one of the flagship species of the CSS-Argentina and has a CPSG model planning. 2 translocations of 29 birds were carried out in the province of Buenos Aires and 1 translocation of 5 birds in the province of Entre Rios. In March 2024, a site assessment was conducted to identify a suitable location for the translocation of a maned wolf (Chrysocyon brachyurus) rescued in November 2023 in the town of Olavarría. This effort was carried out in collaboration with researchers from CONICET at the Institute of Ecology, Genetics, and Evolution of Buenos Aires (IEGEBA), as well as local landowners. The chosen release site, agreed upon with the flora and fauna authorities of Buenos Aires Province, is located between the towns of Vuelta de Obligado and Ramallo. This area was selected due to recent records of the species in the region, which support its movement toward Buenos Aires, and because the area is part of the species' historical distribution. The rescued maned wolf was released on May 16, 2024, in the island region near Vuelta de Obligado. The release operation was supported by Prefectura Naval Ramallo and local stakeholders, who committed to participating in awareness activities about the species and reporting any sightings of this individual or others in the area. Before the release, the maned wolf was equipped with a satellite and VHF collar to monitor its movements and collect valuable data for future studies on its behavior, ecology, and potential future releases. Additionally, camera traps were installed in the area to facilitate post-release monitoring. This collaborative effort underscores the importance of integrating research, community involvement, and technological tools in the conservation of threatened species. Also we have carried out an intensive campaign dedicated to the conservation of the huemul (Hippocamelus bisulcus), a critically endangered deer species native to the Southern Andes. As part of this effort, Six field expeditions were conducted to monitor wild populations and assess habitat conditions.A breeding group was successfully established at the Captive Breeding Center, including the translocation of five individuals (3 females and 2 males) to support the species’ recovery and ensure genetic diversity.
