Marine Otters were the number one most hunted mamals in Chile. Now otters are protected by the Chilean government via The Marine Mamal Protection Act. This act not only protects otters directly by including hunting laws, but it also helps prevent oil spills and poaching.
Poaching is illegally hunting/tresspassing without permission.
They also help sick or injured Otters by making models of their habbitat and letting them live there while nursing them back to health and re releasing them into the wild.
