Southern lapwing, Ushuaia. I saw one en route to the Tierra del Fuego park, and was like 'noooo what if I never see one again" 😂 turns out they're quite common.
Anyway, last one from there! Now I just have a few from Iguazú left.

“On Dec. 6, legislators in Argentina’s southernmost province of Tierra del Fuego approved a law to permanently protect the land and sea of the Mitre Peninsula at the tip of South America, considered to be one of the region’s last wild places.
The Mitre Peninsula is known to encompass Argentina’s most important carbon sink through a range of peatlands and the surrounding ocean swirls with giant kelp forests. The newly protected area will span 486,000 hectares (1.2 million acres) — about three times as big as London — and create a haven for numerous species, such as the endangered southern river otter (Lontra provocax).
Sofia Heinonen, the director of Rewilding Argentina, said conservationists, scientists, policymakers and community members worked for about 30 years to establish the Mitre Peninsula as a protected area. The global movement to protect peatlands and other natural places in an effort to combat climate change likely spurred the government’s decision, she said.
“It’s incredible,” Heinonen told Mongabay. “It was really a party [when we found out]. We were all jumping.”
The protected area will comprise 300,000 hectares (741,000 acres) of land and the remaining part of ocean. The peatlands will likely be fully protected from human activities, while some forms of tourism will be allowed in other parts of Mitre Peninsula. And more than a quarter of the marine protected area will be a no-take zone, while other areas will be used for multiple purposes.
Across its moss-covered landscape, the Mitre Peninsula holds about 84% of Argentina’s peatlands, which are known to sequester about 315 million metric tons of carbon dioxide, roughly equivalent to three years of emissions in Argentina. The area’s many forests, mountain ranges, valleys and waterways provide habitat for many species, including the Andean condor (Vultur gryphus), steamer duck (Tachyeres spp.), guanaco (Lama guanicoe), red fox, and the southern river otter.
The surrounding seas, which include kelp forests and rocky reef ecosystems, also support a diversity of species, including penguins, sea lions and soft corals. Scientists believe the region harbors more than 30% of the country’s kelp forests.” -via Mongabay, 12/8/22

My first visit to this park had a lot of tears, but it wasn’t the park’s fault (and I told it so). Spent the second day wandering instead of committing to one hike, and I found a lot of lovely little spots to read. Like this one!
