WCS Argentina implements non-lethal livestock management tools to control livestock predation in protected areas and peripheral zones. By working together with small producers, we achieve sustainable and wildlife-friendly production, while improving the living conditions of local communities. These producers are awarded Wildlife Friendly certification, which adds value to the product and increases its marketing potential in both the local and international markets.

Among the aforementioned tools, the use of light deterrents, improvements in corrals, and the incorporation of livestock protection dogs (PPG) have been consolidated. WCS Argentina has a PPG kennel in the city of Malargüe. Threatened species such as the Andean condor and the Andean cat often suffer reprisals from producers affected by predation, so the work of coexistence becomes fundamental for their conservation.
