Condor Biological Station
✽ Biological Station in San Luis
Monitoring and Conservation Centre for the Andean Condor
We present thefirst Biological Stationdedicated entirely to the monitoring and study of the Andean Condor (Vultur gryphus) in the region. This scientific centre is being built thanks to the support ofPatagoniaand has the prestigiouspatronage of the Bioandina Argentina Foundation. Together, we are consolidating a research node within the Quebrada del Palmar Natural Reserve, integrating the Condor Sanctuary Network to ensure the future of this emblematic species.
✽ Strategic Objectives
Fundamental Axes
Censos y relavamiento
Implementamos metodologías de observación sistemática en los Censos estacionales, para determinar la densidad poblacional del Cóndor Andino en las Sierras Centrales.
Research and monitoring
Funcionamos como un nodo de recolección de datos técnicos sobre el estado de salud del hábitat y el análisis de la red trófica que sostiene a los grandes carroñeros de la región.
Prevention and mitigation of threats
Este pilar se enfoca en la detección temprana de cebos tóxicos, el diseño de planes de contingencia ante incendios forestales y la educación comunitaria para reducir el conflicto entre la actividad humana y la fauna silvestre.
The Yurta Biological Station
Thanks to the support of thePatagonia Environmental Donations Programme, our operational base is now a reality. A 100% solar infrastructure with minimal impact to safeguard the skies.
Your contribution helps us complete the final 20%. Your collaboration is directly allocated to the interior finishes and the technical monitoring equipment.

✽ Scientific Sponsorship
Bioandina Foundation
The Biological Station is born and developed under thepatronage of the Bioandina Argentina Foundation. Through this alliance, we formally integrate into theAndean Condor Conservation Programme (PCCA), ensuring that our monitoring and census work meets the highest international scientific standards.
Condor Sanctuary Network
A commitment to the natural heritage of the continent
By joining the Sanctuary Network led by the Foundation, theQuebrada del Palmar Natural Reservebecomes a strategic node for:
Biological Corridors:Ensuring safe spaces for the movement and survival of the species.
Network Science:Exchanging technical data with other sanctuaries to strengthen the health of the ecosystem.
Cultural Custody:Protecting the Condor as an emblem and living heritage of our land.
Collaborate with the Biological Station
Your contribution is the final push.We are 20% away from completing the technical infrastructure necessary for this sponsorship to translate into full operability. Each collaboration helps to finalise the details of bioconstruction and to complete the equipment.
