Stop Electrocuting Patagonia
NRDC's campaign to protect Chile's wild places

Chile's Patagonia, one of the most pristine places left on the planet, is being threatened by plans for a massive hydro-electric scheme that calls for dams to be built on the region's largest rivers and for construction of the world's longest power transmission line. NRDC is working local, national, and international partners to bring smarter solutions and viable alternatives to discussions on the future of this treasured region.
