Thanks from Patagonia:

THANKS FROM THE TIP OF SOUTH AMERICA
Juan Pablo Orrego of our Chilean partner group Ecosistemas has asked us to pass on the following message to more than 40,000 BioGems Defenders who recently spoke out against a destructive proposal to dam every major river in his country's unspoiled Patagonia region. "Thank you for joining our fight to protect Patagonia -- your voices were heard! As a result of your action, President Bachelet and many more people throughout Chile now know that the world is watching this crucial battle.


We need to look more like the earth instead of trying to become the moon. - Magilla Schaus a Great Lakes surfer.
