The Tilcara Agreement – December
11th, 2008
 In Tilcara, a small town at the northwest of Argentina, on International Mountains
Day, institutions from Argentina, Bolivia and Chile agreed on a framework for
international collaboration to protect the biodiversity of the High Andes around
their shared triple frontier.
The Agreement represents the best possible conclusion of a 3-year project, based
in effective collaborations among AGA members and inspired on the belief that
the Andean cat is a good flagship for the protection of this unique ecosystem,
vast and remote, but highly vulnerable to increasing human pressures.
This agreement is pledging new opportunities for conservation without borders
along the central Andes.
