CONAF

 CONAF is a private entity that assists the Chilean state, more specifically the Ministry of Agriculture. It was founded in 1970, specifically on 13 May. WEB: conaf.cl

It is a very complete website, you can find news about the forestry situation in the country. State of the native forest, forest fires, etc.

There is the option of finding official documents with information, such as encyclopaedias of native plants. And what is most striking is the open information on national parks and reserves.I visit the website about every week, at least once, I love this website, because it is very complete and there is a lot of information about what I am studying.

That's all, I hope you have a great week.
