The Dirtbag Diaries

The Rio Baker hangs in a delicate balance. I won't get to into depth here as numerous groups have gathered together to fight the dams. Please click on the links. You too can contribute to the preservation of the Aysen Region.  Numerous groups have taken up the cause. Conservacion Patagonica has already helped preserve a half million acres and established a National Park in Argentina.

Consider taking a few moments to draft a letter to Enel, the Italian power giant that is now spearheading the power project.  Berkley-based International Rivers has a wealth of information and resources for getting involved without ever having to get up from your desk. The Diaries sponsor, Patagonia, also has information for contacting the Chilean government and helped Brian and Emily return to the Rio Baker in 2006 with a generous Dirtbag Grant. We can make a difference.
