Patagonia Video: Creating the Future Patagonia National Park

Conservacion Patagonica, a non-profit organization dedicated to protection of wildland ecosystems and biodiversity in the Patagonia region of Chile and Argentina, is working towards the goal of creating Patagonia National Park, a world-class park similar in size to Yosemite National Park in California.

This video vividly showcases the proposed park's landscape and makes a compelling case for its protection and restoration. It also touches on environmental threats to the area like a massive hydroelectric project that would dam two of Patagonia's wild and pristine rivers, one of which runs right along the edge of the proposed Patagonia National Park.

Los patagones no habitaban solo del lado Argentino?

While the Patagonia region spans both Argentina and Chile, the future Patagonia National Park is in the Aysen region of Chile. For more information check out Conservacion Patagonica's website.

Tranquilo Manolo, que si España acobija a sudacas Argentinos, esto sin duda elevara al nivel intelectual de todo su pais apreciablemente. Nosotros no nos opusimos a recibir millares de manolos cuando Uds. emigraban hacia aqui. Y si, si no lo sabia, Argentina antes, durante y mucho despues de la guerra civil española y la 2da guerra mundial les envio una enormisima cantidad de

alimentos. Mis abuelos son Asturianos y Canarios, yo no desprecio a Chile ni a España, pero se defender a mi pais.

La Patagonia es más que sólo vuestra porción de ella. En segundo lugar, los "gringos" a que te refieres están defendiendo algo que el estado argentino permitió quemar por decenios para transformarlo en mesetas y pastizales para el ganado vuestro e inglés. Te guste o no, los intereses británicos en Argentina han sido bastante anteriores y mayores que las islas Malvinas... en tercer lugar, ESTOS GRINGOS ESTAN DEFENDIENDO LA PATAGONIA CHILENA que la Argentina ya se jodió a mitad del s.XX!!!!!!!!!

@mayansun Sorry for the wall of text and greetings from argentina.

[TPOver9000]

@mayansun I have been there this summer ( bariloche) and believe me that everyone ive meet ,mapuches of a reservation and a lot of bariloche residents including a couple of park rangers, were very aware of the importance of Patagonia and ,rest assured, they know that the land will not be taken away from them. Hopefully this goverment will help to create the conditions for peace. The fight for giving all natives tribes their original lands is going to be a long one im afraid.

[TPOver9000]

@mayansun well, we can only hope to help the natives making sure they are respected as argentinians with the same consideration we can have for any citizen, because that is what they are right now, Native people in patagonia have reserves and they are working their lands the same way most of the european colonist descendants are working their lands. People in patagonia have a wonderfull spirit and work very hard to protect the gift they have as heritage. All of them.
