The Alliance for the Defense of Protected Areas is made up of more than 45 civil society organizations from different regions of the country that have joined together to contribute to the effective conservation of Patagonia's protected areas.
The Alliance calls for compliance with the current law and the country's institutional framework to ensure the effective protection of protected areas.
The Alliance also demands compliance by the salmon industry with both the Law on General Bases of the Environment and the Law on Fishing and Aquaculture.
Patagonia's protected areas are a refuge for biodiversity where salmon farming is incompatible with development.
Patagonia's protected areas were created to conserve unique ecosystems that are world heritage sites.
The safeguarding, defense and protection of the Protected Areas of Chilean Patagonia is a commitment acquired in the past, which deserves respect in the present, in order to fulfill its objectives for the future.
We believe in the protection and defense of Patagonia's protected areas, well protected!
Vision
Protected areas are a contribution to the country and the world, benefiting the local economy, education, science, research and health, as well as the local, national and global environment.
Mission
We work to enhance the value of protected areas in Chilean Patagonia in order to contain threats to their conservation, particularly salmon farming.
