Project catcrafts: crafting a shared future for andean cat and local communities

Abstract

The last light of the day was gone, and its furious sun radiation already replaced by the chill of a typical below-zero night. The deep blue of the sky was being punctured by an unfathomable number of brilliant stars. Everything was made possible by the remoteness (80 km from the closest paved road) and high elevation (13,500 ft a.s.l.) of Lagunillas del Farallón, the village that we selected as our primary project site in the Argentine Andes.
