30 Breathtaking Images Of Wildlife By Jürgen Schulmeister

Jürgen was born in Punta Arenas, Chile, and spent his childhood in rural areas, developing a strong fascination with the wildlife of his homeland. As a child, he often explored Patagonia’s trails with his parents, both experienced guides, particularly in Torres del Paine National Park. It was there that he first began identifying plants and animals, sparking a lifelong love for birdwatching.

When he was just 7, Jürgen hiked to the base of Las Torres. Later, he traveled across Chile and South America, growing curious about how geography affects biodiversity. During these trips, he learned about the unique plants and animals that live along the Andes Mountains’ long biological corridor.
