Acta de Sesión Extraordinaria Consejo Consultivo Regional del Medio Ambiente 2024 - 2026 Región de Atacama

Summary

The Atacama region in Chile is addressing two significant environmental challenges: improving air quality in the Huasco river basin and expanding the protection of its critical saline ecosystems, which currently have low protection. The approach involves public consultations on a revised air quality standard for particulate matter and a proposal to create new protected areas within a national network of salars, especially relevant to the National Lithium Strategy. Both initiatives are currently in progress, undergoing public and indigenous consultations, aiming to significantly increase protected natural areas and improve environmental standards.
