Consultancies performed

Consultancies in which we have participated directly (i.e. which we have led) and in which we participate in collaboration with other institutions:

2024-act. Baseline of Estancia La Cautiva, Chubut. Work carried out at the owner's initiative. The purpose of this consultancy is to generate information on the estancia's bird and mammal populations, but also to generate information on the state of the estancia's environments and their evolution over time.
2022-2023. Update of the Management Plan for the Meseta de Somuncurá Natural Protected Area. In collaboration with the University of Río Negro and the CCT-Patagonia Norte. Within the framework of the management plan, we worked on the characterization of the avifauna of the Somuncurá plateau, providing bibliographic, unpublished and field information.
2023. Territorial prioritization of the province of Santa Cruz for wind energy development based on the distribution of avifauna. In collaboration with the Secretary of State of the Province of Santa Cruz. Within the framework of this consultancy we provide a complete report of the entire province of Santa Cruz in which we categorize the areas in different levels of sensitivity with respect to threatened, endemic and birds of interest populations.
2023. Pre-feasibility study for the installation of wind farms. This consultancy was based on a feasibility mapping of large areas of the province of Santa Cruz in relation to potentially sensitive bird populations, generating as a final product the identification of areas of greater viability for this type of project.
2018-2020. Wind Farm baseline monitoring in Neuquén, Chubut and Santa Cruz. In collaboration with Scudelatti and Assoc. and the consulting area of Aves Argentinas. These projects were for different companies. The work was to carry out seasonal reports on the presence of birds in wind farms and to perform environmental characterizations during the pre-construction, construction and operation periods of the wind farms, including species mortality analysis.
2017-2018. Fauna monitoring of the Garayalde and Cerro Dragón Wind Project. Work done for Pan American Energy, together with the consulting area of Aves Argentinas. The objective of the work was to carry out a baseline study of the bird populations in the project implementation sectors and sites of importance for birds in an area of 50 km around the projects.
2015-act. Avian risk monitoring of airports in Argentina. In collaboration with Aeropuertos Argentina 2000, the Laboratory of Ecology and Animal Behavior (IEGEBA-CONICET, FCEN-UBA) and the Bariloche Foundation.
