Frequently asked questions
What is Fundación Bioparque Buinzoo?
It is a private non-profit organization created under the umbrella of Bioparque Buinzoo. Its goal is to promote and develop actions that help protect threatened species and generate scientific knowledge that supports biodiversity conservation and ecosystem health.

From the Nahuelbuta mountain range, in the Biobío region, to Riesco Island, in the Magallanes region, with conservation actions in ten national parks.

It has invested more than 1,500 million Chilean pesos in initiatives to protect and recover native species, and has trained more than 2,500 students and professionals in wildlife management for conservation.
How can I support its work?
You can make a one-time donation, become a member with a monthly contribution, or give a greeting or condolence card with a donation in someone else’s name. Payments are processed through Flow.
Can I change the amount or stop being a member?
Yes. Write to contacto@fundacionbuinzoo.cl to change the amount or the card, or to cancel; a cancellation applies to the charges after your request.
Does the Foundation store my card details?
No. Payments are processed by Flow and the Foundation does not receive or store card numbers: for members it only knows the card brand and the last four digits, to identify it.
Do you issue a donation certificate?
Once the payment is confirmed you receive a receipt by email. If you need a certificate for a tax benefit, request it in the donation form and enter your details: our accounting team will email it to you.
