The Finca del Chañar Community, the National Council of the Colla People, and Codema are collecting signatures to urge the Chilean government to ratify agreements for establishing a National Park in Maricunga Salt Flat. This area, crucial for the endangered Andean flamingo, is threatened by lithium extraction. The campaign demands the expansion of protected areas over 13,000 hectares, ensuring the conservation of breeding colonies and the water system essential for the flamingos' survival.
