The Red Yaguareté formally requested Chaco and Formosa governors to protect the property
"La Fidelidad"

April 2011

It was through two notes delivered in late March and early April. La fidelidad is a huge property of 250,000 hectares, 150,000 located in Chaco territory and another 100,000 in Formosa.

It is a pristine area without residents and have all the extraordinary biodiversity of the Argentine Chaco: jaguar, giant armadillo, tapir, brocket deer, chacoan peccary, collared peccary, giant anteater, ocelot, etc. This property had been proposed to be a National Park by the Delegation Nea of National Parks Administration because of its rich biodiversity, large surface and strategic location, however, for various reasons the project never materialized.

Unfortunately, and in an aberrant fact, its owner was killed in the month of January in a brutal episode. The Red Yaguareté fears from this, and to be several legal claims of alleged heirs, these lands are stolen and looted, losing forever its unmatched value. In fact, internet online sales continues even some fractions.

The petition, signed by Mr. Nicolás Lodeiro Ocampo and by the renowned naturalist Juan Carlos Chebez, respectively president and technical advisor of the Red Yaguareté, noted that "La Fidelidad should be preserved for future generations and expressed concern about its present guard, under its owner's death and the dark interests that surround it".

Save La Fidelidad is save the Gran Chaco and its unique biodiversity, where stands the Jaguar, seriously threatened with extinction.
