	Chile: Campaign against a Canadian project for the production of aluminium
		Aysen is one of Chile's 13 regions, and covers an area of over 10 million hectares (108,494 km²;), of which 4.8 million hectares are native forests, 1.1 million are wetlands and 1.8 million hectares correspond to snow covered areas and glaciers.
		The inhabitants of the Aysen region are concentrated in some urban centres, the largest cities being Coyhaique and Puerto Aysen, the latter located very near the place where the converting plant is to be installed.
		The region is also characterized by its enormous natural beauty, and year by year the number of national and foreign tourists who arrive in the search of unique landscapes and places increases.

	Aysen Region - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		CL-AI Aysen (also spelled Aisén) is Chile's eleventh administrative region from north to south.
		It is the least populous of the thirteen regions.
		Another theory suggests that it was a term used by the Chonos culture meaning "going more to the interior," in reference to the Fjord of Aysen that stretches east from the Moraleda strait.

		Aysen's mayor liked the phrase so much that it was officially adopted by the city government, emblazoned on a large sign at the city's entryway, and prominently featured in promotional materials used to attract tourism and business to the region.
		He is focusing current citizen efforts on the Aysen region, but he plans to extend the process to other parts of Chile and to Argentina as well.
		With an area of more than 100,000 square kilometers (most of it mountains, glaciers and rocky islands), Aysen was not colonized until the early part of this century, and there are still only 85,000 people in the region.

	About Patagonia with Extremely Patagonia Trekking Expeditions
		Within the region are numerous national parks, the Northern and part of the Southern Ice Caps of Chile, the second largest lake in South America, as well as countless beautiful peaks, fjords, and quaint villages.
		The most wonderful thing about the Aysen Region, apart from all of its natural wonders, is that.
		In terms of scenery, Aysen can easily rival these deservedly famous areas; but because this region is less well known and less developed, each expedition is a true wilderness experience.

	WRM Bulletin Nº 71 - South Am. / June 2003
		In this same area, to the north-east of Chubut, some 20 families of the Cushamen indigenous community have been notified of prospecting by the Teck Argentine company (a subsidiary of the Canadian company, Teck Gold), which is interested in locating first and second category minerals over an area of 10 thousand hectares.
		The neighbours of Esquel and the region will be excluded from the debate, as they do not enjoy a legal status.
		This authorization for large-scale mining exploitation of thermic coal (used for the production of heat) not only altered the Wayuu's customs and contaminated their environment, but was also the antecedent for a long list of violations of the Colombian State's regulations and for conflicts between the indigenous peoples and the national and multi-national mining companies.

	Ecologists and fisheries team up against aluminum plant in Chile
		According to 17 ecological organizations that joined forces in the Aysen Life Preserve Alliance, the project, which is likely to cost $2.75 billion, will destroy 10,200 hectares (25,185 acres) of unspoiled land and forest.
		Hartman, holding a Catholic University study on the impact of Alumysa, said the study turned in by Noranda is full of "unusual omissions" such as in the case of fluoride which is not even mentioned in the study.
		These contaminants would come from the 660,000 annual tons of toxic residues that would be spewed out by the plant in the Aysen region, after processing the 1,100 tons of bauxite, aluminum's raw material, that will arrive each year to the region from Australia, Brazil or Jamaica.
