Just back from Patagonia

OK, so this blog is in some pretty serious need of updates. A lot has happened recently. From our latest trip down to Patagonia, it is clear that the local population is decidedly against the dam project (particularly since many of them make their livings from tourism and raising animals) and is very suspicious and concerned about the fate of their lands and livelihoods. On the plane back to Santiago, we met a film and production crew that had been down shooting footage for a documentary about Patagonia. Stay tuned for that. In the meantime, please consider supporting the opposition to the dams. More later as there are a lot of developments to catch up on.
