Abstract
Why does nearly a fifth of South America’s territory reside within designated protected areas? Using examples from charismatic Patagonian mammals, this presentation shows that through conservation—namely state-based national parks and protected areas—scientific concepts are translated for larger public audiences by converting abstract concepts into living and dying animals as well as landscapes.
