Resumen
El huemul es un ciervo endémico del cono sur que se encuentra sólo en Argentina y
Chile. Se considera muy frágil, puesto que su población se disgrega y disminuye cada
vez más con los años. A nivel mundial la población no alcanzaría a los 2000 individuos.
Al mismo tiempo, este ciervo posee diferentes nombramientos y catalogaciones que lo
ayudan a lograr su conservación. Debido a esto, es que este estudio busca contribuir a la
conservación de la especie, a través del fomento del uso del concepto de especie
carismática y el ecoturismo en la comunidad de Cochrane.
En el desarrollo del presente trabajo, se hace patente el reconocimiento que tiene la
comunidad de Cochrane por este ciervo como una especie carismática, que despierta
sentimientos de admiración, respeto, ternura y simpatía. Se asocia de manera positiva
con la comunidad por ser un animal inofensivo, bonito y tímido. Por otro lado, existe
una disposición por parte de los turistas en colaborar monetariamente de diferentes
maneras como son: pagar por ver a la especie, elevar valor de entradas del lugar donde
este esté presente o donativos a organizaciones o institución que velen por su
conservación.
Finalmente, se concluye que el huemul tiene un altísimo potencial como especie
carismática para ser utilizado en el turismo, atrayendo visitantes a la zona, quienes no
solo pueden maravillarse con este ciervo, sino que además con diversos atractivos
geográficos y de la flora y fauna del lugar. Además de contar con otros atractivos en la
zona, como son el Monte San Lorenzo, el Valle Chacabuco y las fiestas costumbristas
que se realizan en el sector, pudiendo ofrecer al turista una variada oferta y no sólo
actividades en torno al huemul. Sirviendo este como un impulsor del desarrollo turístico
de la región y sus alrededores.
The huemul is an endemic deer from the Southem Cone found only in Argentina and Chile. It is considered very fragile, since its population disintegrates and decreases more and more as the years go by. Worldwide, the population of huemul is less than 2,000 individuals. At the same time, this deer has different categorizations that help it achieve its conservation. Due to this is that this study aims to contribute the conservation of the species, through the promotion of the use of the concept of charismatic species and ecotourism in the community of Cochrane. With the development of this work, it becomes clear that the Cochrane community recognizes this deer as a charismatic species, which arouses feelings of admiration, respect, tendemess and sympathy. lt's associated positively with the community as a harmless, cute and shy animal. On the other hand, there is the willingness of tourists to contribute monetarily in different ways such as: paying to see the species, raise value entries where the huemul is present or donating to organizations or institutions to ensure their conservation. Finally, we conclude that the huemul has a high potential as a charismatic species to be used in tourism, attracting visitors to the area who can not only be amazed at this deer, but also by different geographical attractions and native flora and fauna, besides having other attractions in the area, such as Monte San Lorenzo, Valle Chacabuco and traditional festivals that take place in the area, allowing the offer of a wider range of activities, not just activities related to the huemul, serving as a promoter of tourism development in the region and its surroundings.
