Chilean Patagonia is under attack by an international energy company that plans to build five massive (unnecessary other than to make them money) hydroelectric dams on the Pasqua and Baker rivers.
The dams would down large swaths of wild land, industrialize a pastoral region with growing potential for eco-tourism and require the clear-cutting of native forest to accommodate 1,500 miles of transmission lines.
There's a whole lot more exploitation going on in Chile and it's land and people need a voice to raise awareness and help protect their country.
