Introduction
One of the last wild places on earth is being threatened by the international hydroelectric and mining interests. Under the guise of preventing global warming, these for-profit investors propose damming most of the major rivers in Patagonia, Chile for the purpose of using the electricity to provide power for new gold, copper and aluminum mines, thus accelerating the global economy. Here you will find the most current news in what looks to be an epic environmental struggle for the future of Patagonia, Chile.
