WHAT'S AT STAKE?
​
Building dams on the Rio Santa Cruz is not a new idea, but in 2014 it gathered steam. Here's a summary of the major issues:
  • The Rio Santa Cruz is the last major Patagonia river flowing to the ocean from the ice caps
  • The dams will cost $5bn, to be invested by China (their largest investment in Latin American infastructure to date)
  • At the time of writing, there has been no official pre-impact study (known as an 'EIA' - Environmental Impact Assessment)
