Recently the Chilean government approved five dam proposals on the Baker and Pascua rivers in wild Patagonia. The dams are not only a threat to the ecosystems these rivers help sustain, but to the livelihood and well-being of it’s surrounding residents. The dams would displace a total of three dozen families, flood 14,000 acres of usable land, pose a threat to local wildlife including the endangered Southern Huemul deer, and insinuate clear-cutting in the surrounding areas. As fly-fishermen, we know the impacts hydroelectric dams can have on ecosystems. Help stop this one before its too late, get educated on this case and find out ways to become active!
