Introduction
We value the privacy of all individuals who visit this website, regardless of the country from which they access it. Below is information regarding the processing of personal data collected through our contact form, in accordance with Argentina’s Personal Data Protection Law No. 25.326, its Regulatory Decree No. 1558/2001, and the complementary regulations issued by the Agency for Access to Public Information (AAIP), the relevant supervisory authority.
This Website has been created to document, present, and share the ongoing research, fieldwork, photography, conservation efforts, and scientific findings related to two forthcoming books dedicated to the birds of prey of South America.
The books are currently under development and are expected to be published within approximately five years, as the project requires extensive research, analysis, documentation, field observations, and photographic work.
This Website serves exclusively as an informational and educational platform. It is intended to provide visitors with updates about the book project, the research process, the investigator’s background, and opportunities to support raptor conservation through external partner organizations.
We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting any personal information you may provide while using this Website.
By accessing or using this Website, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
