Patagon Journal #11

Increasing research in the Patagonia region appears to show that climate change has already arrived: are we about to expedite devastating changes to Patagonia’s natural treasures? Its one of the questions we examine in our special section about climate change. The diverse other stories in Issue 11 include an extensive interview with Yvon Chouinard, founder of Patagonia, Inc. and accomplished mountaineer, surfer and fly fisherman. There are also stories about the inspiring NOLS outdoor education program; Chile’s salmon farming crisis; a look back at skiing during the 1930s in Villa la Angostura, Argentina; a photo essay of fall in the Araucania region; 10 noteworthy sustainable tourism initiatives; and much more.
