Amidst harsh winter conditions, Patagonia Park Argentina’s rewilding team works to dismantle deadly fences – enabling guanacos to continue their ancestral migrations unimpeded. This effort is part of their remarkable mission to restore the Patagonian steppe.
This 12-minutes short wildlife documentary is a journey into the heart of Patagonia Park, Argentina, where the spectacle of winter migrations unfolds against the backdrop of ongoing rewilding efforts.
