Summary

The Chilean Ministry of Environment (MMA) in the Atacama Region is addressing the challenge of identifying and effectively managing high-priority biodiversity conservation sites in the Northern Macrozone, particularly those on private land and those impacted by extractive activities, to meet national protection and sustainable use goals. An ongoing public consultation process for the "List of Priority Sites of the Northern Macrozone" under Law N° 21.600 aims to gather feedback and define a supreme decree to establish these sites, contributing to the 30x30 target for vegetational formation representation. The process is currently in progress, with discussions on site selection, private property implications, and enforcement mechanisms.
