Saving Chile's Southern Wilderness
The now known area of The Karukinka Nature Reserve is a "cluster of inhospitable islands" between Argentina and Chile at the southern most tip of South America. A company named Trillum had bought and planned on chopping down all of the Lenga trees in that area and use the 680,000 acre land for logging since the 1990's. Luckily an environmental group convinced them to stop the project.
The Goldman Sachs Group is a financial services firm that provides investment banking, securities, and investment managing services. The group bought all of the land from Trillum Company. They then decide to give it away to The Wildlife Conservation Society. Not only did they give it away but they also gifted the Wildlife Society with $12 million dollars to ensure that the land stays protected. People come from all over come to see this beautiful landscape and enjoy its luscious natural life.
It is important to know about this because big companies everywhere are using our natural resources and taking them for themselves. We have to be aware of what is going on concerning our wilderness and being able to keep it all natural!
