11 million acres protected in chile

“Prompted by the 10 million acre gift of Parque Pumalín, the Chilean government has announced a massive conservation campaign.
President Michelle Bachelet signed an agreement which merged 10 million acres of federal land with the million acres of Pumalín, creating five new national parks and placing all of it under the strict environmental protection afforded to designated national parklands. Miles of undeveloped coastline, virgin forests, and active volcanoes grace the area which dwarfs all other protected areas in Chilean history.”
