Beautiful Chile! Chile’s natural heritage arrives in Japan to inspire the world at Expo Osaka 2025 as examples of conservation

From the driest desert in the world, to the millenary forests of the south and even the southern glaciers, this is part of Chile’s majestic natural heritage that does not go unnoticed in the world. It is precisely this biodiversity, with great representatives, that will arrive to shine for a week in Japan, no less.

From September 22 to 26, a Chilean delegation will participate in the Osaka 2025 World Expo in Japan, where our country’s pavilion will hold the Biodiversity Week, with the aim of highlighting the public and private conservation model for natural ecosystems and international collaboration to protect the world’s ecosystems.

The Chilean delegation is composed of representatives of five leading conservation organizations: Tantauco Park Foundation, Rewilding Chile Foundation, La Tapera Foundation, Luksic Foundation’s Pirinel Park, Alerce 3000 Foundation and the Cape Horn International Center. They were joined by authorities from the Ministry of the Environment, as well as the expert Martin Gardner, a British scientist known for his work in the conservation of Chilean flora and awarded the Order of the British Empire (MBE).

Private conservation in Chile has been consolidating for several decades as a fundamental pillar for the protection of habitats and the flora and fauna that coexist there. The percentage of protected territory increases every year thanks to the work and commitment of civil society organizations and the State, not only to conserve but also to restore and promote sustainable tourism and environmental education.

“We will be present along with other organizations at Expo Osaka 2025, a unique opportunity to show the world our work in conservation and environmental care. We are convinced that strengthening public-private collaboration is key to advancing towards the 2030 goals, so that future generations will not only learn about the wonders of nature in history books, but will be able to experience them in all their splendor. Tantauco Park, which has been open to the public 365 days a year for more than two decades, is now an international benchmark, with a solid environmental education and community development program,” said Magdalena Piñera Morel, Executive Director of Fundación Parque Tantauco.

“Chile has a unique natural heritage in the world. Aware of the importance of preserving these ecosystems, we have promoted different conservation projects, motivated by the commitment to protect these territories for future generations. Through Pirinel Park and La Tapera Park, we have consolidated a conservation model that integrates scientific research with the active participation of the communities. We are very proud to participate, along with other great Chilean conservation leaders, representing the country in this universal exposition,” commented Oscar Lería Luksic, Director of La Tapera Park and Board Member of the Luksic Foundation.

For five days, visitors to the Chile Pavilion at Expo Osaka will be able to learn in detail about the natural wonders of our country. The international conference “Patagonia and Chile’s Unique Ecosystems” is scheduled for Wednesday the 24th and will feature speeches and presentations by Magdalena Piñera Morel, Executive Director of Fundación Parque Tantauco; Óscar Lería Luksic, Director of Fundación Luksic and Director of Parque La Tapera; and Nicolás Mora, Director of Conservation of Fundación Luksic, as well as presentations on private conservation and environmental education by experts from our country.
