Patagonia Under Siege from NRDC: OnEarth Magazine, Fall 2006



Chile is moving ahead with a devastating and short-sighted hydro power project that will scar one of the last truly wild landscapes on earth. OK, they are not planning on submerging 1,200 villages, but the destruction of the natural habitat of Chilean Patagonia will be permanent and constitute a real loss for the planet. The glaciers, lakes, and wild rivers are a real natural treasure, despite showing the scars of the the misguided "colonization" policies of the early 20th century that led to the wholesale burning and destruction of primeval forests. Please consider supporting efforts to prevent this looming devastation. Thanks.
